He also discovered the phenomenon of electrophoresis together with Pyotr Ivanovich Strachow . Reuss studied the chemical composition of natural mineral waters from the Caucasus and the Tver and Moscow Governments . In 1823 he produced artificial mineral water in Moscow's Neskuchny Garden.

From 1817 Reuss headed the chair for chemistry and pharmacology of the Moscow department of the Medical-Surgical Academy (until 1839).
