Abstract: A method for analyzing one or more nitrogen-containing compounds is disclosed. In the method, a ninhydrin-containing composition is irradiated with UV light in an activation zone to produce a ninhydrin reagent containing hydrindantin. The ninhydrin reagent is passed to a reaction zone. In the reaction zone the ninhydrin reagent is contacted with the nitrogen-containing compounds.
