Neubauer trained as a pharmacist and then worked as a pharmacist's assistant in Wormsdorf and Hanover. In 1853, he became an assistant in the laboratory of Remigius Heinrich Fresenius in Wiesbaden. He worked there as a lecturer from 1862 until his death. At the same time, he taught chemistry and physics at the Hof Geisberg agricultural college from 1855-76. Neubauer also worked for a long time on the examination board for doctors and pharmacists and as a pharmacy auditor. He obtained his doctorate in Göttingen in 1855 and taught chemistry and physics at the agricultural institute there until its closure in 1876. He was awarded the title of professor in 1864.

He became director of the newly founded agricultural chemistry and oenology experimental station in Wiesbaden in 1868. In addition to his official teaching duties, he lectured extensively in scientific associations. He devoted particular attention to the subject of wine, the chemical composition of which he studied intensively. His thoughts on the hygienic treatment of wine were published in 1878.

As an analyst and chemist, Neubauer wrote the fundamental textbook on urinalysis, which he had worked on together with Julius Vogel since the 2nd edition. For many years, he regularly wrote about new research in analytical chemistry in the Zeitschrift für analytische Chemie. A street in Wiesbaden is named after him.
