Applications that can be successfully executed with Pickering Laboratories' equipment:

Sulfa Drug residues using Dimethylamino Benzaldehyde
Polyether Antibiotics using Vanillin
Guanidino compounds using Ninhydrin/OH-
Peptides using Naphthalene Dialdehyde/CN-

Technical notes are either special information we want to emphasize, or arcane bits of knowledge only a few people are interested in:
