'... a reagent is "a test substance that is added to a system in order to bring about a reaction or to see whether a reaction occurs". Such a reaction is used to confirm the presence of another substance.
In organic chemistry, reagents are compounds or mixtures ... that are used to affect a transformation on an organic substrate.'
