The Waters Temperature Control Module with CHM Column Heater and Shimadzu CBM-101 Communication Bus Module Set is a combined laboratory chromatography accessory setup designed for temperature-controlled chromatography applications and instrument communication. The photographed set contains three identifiable components: a Waters Temperature Control Module, a Waters CHM Column Heater Module, and a Shimadzu CBM-101 Communication Bus Module.

The Waters Temperature Control Module provides the user interface for setting and monitoring the temperature of the connected column heater. The front panel includes a digital temperature display, keypad, temperature-unit selection, remote operation controls, and power control. Waters documentation confirms that the CHM can be operated through the Temperature Control Module in local or remote mode.

The Waters CHM is identified as the Column Heater Module, with Waters part number WAT038040. Waters specifies a temperature range of 0 to 150 °C for the CHM when used with the Temperature Control Module II, while the controller should not be programmed below room temperature and the set point should generally be at least 5 °C above ambient.

The third component is the Shimadzu CBM-101, visibly labelled on the right side of the photographed setup. Shimadzu identifies the CBM-101 as a Computer Bus Module for gas chromatographs, while historical chromatography documentation also identifies CBM-101 as a communications module used with Shimadzu HPLC systems and chromatography workstations.

The three units are being offered together as one complete photographed set. The equipment shows visible cosmetic wear, dirt, discoloration and signs of previous laboratory use. Exact electrical configuration, cables, communication compatibility and operational performance should be verified during refurbishment/testing before installation.

Applications

This combined set is suitable for chromatography laboratories requiring controlled column temperature and instrument communication/interface capability. The Waters temperature-control portion is particularly useful for HPLC applications where maintaining a controlled column temperature is important for reproducible chromatographic separations.

The Waters CHM can be used with chromatography columns requiring elevated and controlled temperatures, while the Shimadzu CBM-101 can be incorporated into compatible Shimadzu chromatography configurations for communication and workstation integration. Published analytical literature demonstrates CBM-101 being used in Shimadzu HPLC configurations alongside LC pumps, UV detectors and chromatography workstations.

Technical Specifications

Waters confirms that kit WAT038039 contains a Temperature Control Module II and one CHM, while the CHM is identified as WAT038040. Waters documentation specifies 0–150 °C operation for the CHM and a ±0.5 °C temperature accuracy specification for the Temperature Control Module II at the set point.

Shimadzu's historical product records identify the CBM-101 as a Computer Bus Module for gas chromatographs, discontinued after its earlier-generation chromatography systems.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Purchasing this refurbished chromatography accessory set can provide laboratories with a cost-effective way to obtain temperature-control and communication hardware for compatible chromatography systems. The Waters temperature-control system can be particularly useful where controlled column temperature is required for repeatable analytical methods.

Refurbished laboratory equipment can also be useful for research laboratories, educational institutions, pharmaceutical laboratories, analytical facilities and users maintaining legacy chromatography systems. Proper refurbishment and testing can help verify temperature control, display operation, heater performance, electrical safety and communication functionality before the equipment is returned to service.

Additional Information

This listing represents the complete three-component set shown in the photograph, consisting of the Waters Temperature Control Module, Waters CHM Column Heater Module and Shimadzu CBM-101 Communication Bus Module. The CBM-101 is a separate Shimadzu module and should not be considered an integrated component of the Waters temperature-control system.

The exact Waters controller generation, CHM serial number, CBM-101 configuration, cables, connectors and compatibility with a particular HPLC/GC system should be verified before purchase. The photographed equipment has visible cosmetic wear and previous-use marks. Accessories, communication cables, software and other components are included only if specifically shown or stated.
