In 1827 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Erlangen, becoming an associate professor the following year at the University of Jena, where he worked with Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780-1849). In 1836 he became a full professor of pharmaceuticals. For a period of time he was inspector of pharmacies in the Grand Duchy of Saxony.

In 1826 Wackenroder isolated corydalin from Corydalis cava and in 1831 isolated carotin from carrots.[1] In 1845 he discovered the Wackenroder solution, a polythionic acid.

gollark: * people with problems
gollark: To be fair, if you look at a support thing like this it'll heavily select for problems.
gollark: It still seems to *work*, but the noise is annoying and I figure relying on it continuing to work with a capacitor blown or something is maybe not smart.
gollark: The nearest repair centres are, according to the website, quite far away, too.
gollark: My device is still warrantied but not having a laptop for ages while it gets repaired would be very inconvenient, so does anyone know how long this sort of thing generally takes to get fixed (or if there is a simple repair I can do, but I doubt it)?
