Can I identify a column based solely on the serial number, brand name, and particle size? - WKB95197

ENVIRONMENT

• Column Identification
• Part number
• Column Description
• Serial Number
• Lot Number

ANSWER

Possibly, but this can be difficult.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A serial number does not specify a specific part number.

Waters can try to search to see which part numbers for a given brand have shipped in the specified lot (first 10 digits of serial number).

Waters may not be able to definitively provide a specific part number if it turns out that multiple part numbers of a particular brand shipped in the same lot.

It would be helpful to provide Waters with the company name and ship to location, as well as potential part numbers.
