Industrial CTS-0678 Deuterium Lamp Assembly

CTS-0678 Deuterium Lamp Assembly is a direct replacement lamp housing for the Waters 486 HPLC UV detector, with CTS-0678 as the internal part number and a cross-reference to Waters OEM part WAT080678 to ensure compatibility with model 486 detectors. This deuterium lamp assembly is documented in CTS/Sciencix catalog entries as a Waters 486 replacement, designed to restore UV illumination in the 486 detector’s optical path. The item is listed as compatible with the Waters 486 detector and is cross-referenced to the OEM Waters part WAT080678, enabling interchangeability with the established hardware. Several catalog pages note that this CTS-0678 item has been discontinued, reflecting its status as a legacy spare for aging Waters 486 systems. Some suppliers market a long-life variant of the same lamp family for Waters 486 detectors, rated around 2,000 hours, which can influence replacement intervals. Replacement procedures for the Waters 486 UV detector describe lamp assembly removal and installation, underscoring its role as the UV light source for the detector’s operation. In short, CTS-0678/WAT080678 provides a verified substitute for maintaining Waters 486 UV performance when the original deuterium lamp ages.
