Har fått et svar før, men det passer ikke. En kjemiingeniør har tidligere brukt termen "program" i elektroforesesammenheng. Er det noen kjemikere her som kan bekrefte/avkrefte at bruken av "program" er ok f.eks. i denne setningen:
Select the chemistry; the default chemistry is the chemistry of the loaded reagent.
Select the chemistry; the default chemistry is the chemistry of the loaded reagent.

This is actually quite straight-forward. Perhaps you're letting the fancy-sounding name "Science of Chemistry" confuse you with what that science investigates: chemistry.
The stuff we call "chemistry" has been around since the beginning of the universe. It came long before we made up the fancy-sounding word, "Chemistry," which we now tend to think of first as a science, and then as actual chemistry.
In ANY language (in all 8 languages that I know, plus Greek, Russian, Polish, Hebrew, Romanian, Catalans, Quechua, Swedish, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Swahili for sure!), this is simply going to be translated, "chemistry."
The text is referring to the chemistry itself, not the Science of Chemistry.
"The default chemistry" just means "the default chemical reactions and processes," i.e. "the default chemistry."
"The chemistry of the loaded reagent" just means "the default chemical reactions and processes of the loaded reagent," i.e., "the chemistry of the loaded reagent."
Here, you translate "chemistry" into Norwegian as "chemistry," i.e. "kjemi." That's it!

By the way, if you're interested, and you have a good, unabridged Norwegian dictionary, complete with etymology, you can look up "kjemi" and you'll find that it is actually an Arabic word, 'al-kiimiyaa' - which means, "the philosopher's stone," - just like in Harry Potter!
