Astonishing Growth in Biotechnology Reagents Industry


A reagent / riˈeɪdʒənt / is a substance or compound that is added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or added to test whether a reaction occurs. The terms reactive and reactive are often used interchangeably; however, a reagent is more specifically a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. Solvents, although involved in the reaction, are generally not called reagents. Similarly, the catalysts are not consumed by the reaction, so they are not reactive. In biochemistry, especially in relation to enzyme-catalyzed reactions, reagents are commonly referred to as substrates.

Some of the key players of Biotechnology Reagents Industry:

Life Technologies, (U.S.), Bio-Rad (U.S.), Thermo Fisher Scientific (U.S.), Water Corporation (U.S.), Sigma-Aldrich (U.S.), Agilent Technologies Inc. (U.S.), Betcon Dickinson (U.S.), Beckman Coulter (U.S.), Roche (Switzerland), Abbott (U.S.)

In organic chemistry, the term "reagent" denotes a chemical ingredient (a compound or mixture, typically of small organic or inorganic molecules) introduced to bring about the desired transformation of an organic substance. Examples include Collins's reagent, Fenton's reagent, and Grignard's reagents. In analytical chemistry, a reagent is a compound or mixture that is used to detect the presence or absence of another substance, e.g. Eg by a color change, or to measure the concentration of a substance, eg. ex. by colorimetry. Examples include Fehling's reagent, Millon's reagent, and Tollens's reagent.

In commercial or laboratory preparations, reagent grade designates chemicals that meet purity standards that ensure scientific precision and reliability for chemical analysis, chemical reactions, or physical tests. Reagent purity standards are set by organizations such as ASTM International or the American Chemical Society. For example, reagent quality water must have very low levels of impurities, such as sodium and chloride ions, silica, and bacteria, as well as very high electrical resistivity. Laboratory products that are less pure, but still useful and inexpensive for undemanding work, can be designated as technical, practical, or crude grade to distinguish them from reactive versions.
