Objective To provide evidence for an efficient and productive acquirement of scientific research resources in disease control system, and to elucidate patterns in supply orders and disease control capability. Methods The laboratory consumable orders and regulation data were collected from China CDC from 2008 to 2015. Descriptive analysis and correlation analysis were used to discover the influence of laboratory reagent consumable materials on disease control ability. Results We found that during the eight years, domestic reagent supplies accounted for 21.90% of all reagents supplies, while imported reagent supplies accounted for 78.10%. The ratio of domestic and imported reagent was 0.30, and domestic and imported supplies ratio was 0.23. There was a positive correlation between reagent consumables and research outputs such as scientific publications. The correlation coefficients were 0.764, 0.712, P<0.05. Conclusion Most the laboratory reagents used in the study period was imported. The peaks of consumption were in June and December. Rational purchase of reagent supplies could promote the construction of disease control system, and contribute positively to the disease control management.
