For liminoids, the primary bitter component in sweet citrus fruits, the spraying of this along with the exposure to bromine vapor is part of a rapid thin-layer-chromatography detection system.

This can also be used in the proof of the selectivity of the metallization of sugar-modified DNA strands. The Schiff Test, which uses Fuchsine, tests for the presence of the same compound as this. And like Fehling's solution, it can used to detect the presence of formic acid but unlike Fehling's solution, this can test for aliphatic or aromatic types of a certain compound. Its most common usage is in the silver mirror test where it detects for the presence of ketones or aldehydes. Usually ammoniacal silver nitrate, for 10 points, name this eponymous reagent named after its German discoverer.
