Explanation:
I don't think this is a business term, it seems to be related to laboratory materials.
I'm also not sure what the difference is between reactant and reagent, so MPGS might well be right.

5. REACTIVOS
Las sustancias y los materiales fungibles dependen del equipo (6) utilizado por el laboratorio. Los sistemas generalmente utilizados se basan en el analizador elemental. Este puede estar diseñado para la introducción de muestras colocadas en cápsulas metálicas herméticamente cerradas, o para la inyección de muestras líquidas a través de una membrana mediante una jeringa.
Según el tipo de instrumentación utilizado, pueden utilizarse las siguientes sustancias de referencia, reactivos y materiales fungibles:

5. REAGENTS
The materials and consumables depend on the apparatus (6) used by the laboratory. The systems generally used are those based on the elementary analyser. This may be equipped to introduce samples placed in grouted metallic capsules, or to inject liquid samples via a septum using a syringe.
Depending on the type of instruments used, the following reference materials, reagents and consumables can be used

From this reference, it seems fairly clear that your term relates to chemicals or laboratory materials:

AllegroTrans: Agree - not a business term, esp. now we know the company does something in the medical field

-> Thanks, Chris.

agree

Giovanni Rengifo: This is the first thing that sprang to mind. It also goes well with "expendables and/or reagents" in the heading./Now that you mention it, I'm not sure about the difference between "expandable" and "consumable".

1 hr

-> Thanks, Giovanni. I believe the EU document refers to "fungibles" as "consumables".//"Expendable" denotes that the thing is not essential, whereas consumable denotes that it gets used up and is usually essential to the process, e.g., fuel in an engine.

IMHO,not knowing the kind of chemical reactions of that company one can't tell whether it's a matter or reactants of reagents or both

Notes to answerer

Asker: I don't believe that's the correct context. This is a business term, not chemical.
