What are serial numbers used for in Quartzy?

Quartzy serial numbers are used as a unique identifier for each entry in a lab's inventory module. When you use Excel to make changes your inventory in bulk, the importer uses the serial numbers to match the items on your Excel file to the items in your Quartzy lab, so that the correct items are updated or deleted.
