Fotogenis antidrastirio
Explanation:
The word Lite is another 'modern' spelling for the word Light. This particular Reagent is used in immunoassays detecting allergens (allergiogona). The reagent binds to the allergens and the subsequent reaction produces light (hence signalling the presence of allergens).
Therefore they named it 'Lite' Reagent

Lite Reagent


Explanation:
I don't think you should translate it; it is a brand name of a reagent in immunoassay kits. An example I found at
http://www.alk-abello.com/news/6/posterssosa2001/18.ppt. states that Lite reagent contains Acridinium ester-labeled streptavidin and is used in Automated Chemiluminescence Systems.
An example is the ACS by Chiron.

Note: the spelling is wrong, it should be "reagent"

On second thought, you could translate the term reagent = ??t?d?ast???? (antidrasthrio)
