Life

Hugo Reinsch was a teacher of chemistry and physics, rector of the technical school in Zweibrücken and later rector in Erlangen.

The Reinsch test bears his name. This test is used by toxicologists to detect the heavy metals antimony , arsenic , bismuth , selenium and mercury in biological samples.
