Do column manufacturers reference or supply customers with their USP Packing as part of their specifications of the column?

Some do, some don't. Even if they do, there is no guarantee that the column will "plug and play" in a USP method. For example, there are over 500 "L1" columns commercially available, and they are not all equivalent.

The best recommendation I can make is to pay the USP their admission fee, search back to find the original monograph, find out exactly which column was used, and pray that the column is still commercially available.
