Such yes/no decisions are of great importance in foodstuffs control and environmental analysis. They also play an important role in pharmacy in the form of content uniformity tests.

When forced to earn his own living at the age of fourteen years, he became an apprentice in a pharmacy in St. Petersburg. Here he spent his spare moments reading books on chemistry, pharmacy, and allied sciences. These attempts at self-education were so successful that Klaus was soon able to pass the examinations, first for assistant pharmacist and then for the position of provisor (36). 

Wishing to return to Kazan, Klaus applied to the Secretary of Public Instruction for a position at the University. The Secietary approved the application, but only after listening to a trial demonstration lecture On the Shortest Methods for Making Chemicopharmaceutical Preparations, which Klaus was required to deliver at the Medico-Surgical Academy of St. Petersburg (36). Although he had applied for a position in the department of pharmacy he was appointed adjunct in chemistry. 

In 1838 Klaus, with his student assistant Kabalerov, made an analysis of the water from the Sergievsky Mineral Springs, which provided the data for his dissertation for the doctorate in pharmacy. Immediately after receiving this degree, he was made extraordinary professor at the University, and six years later he was promoted to the position of ordinary professor.
