Not really...most items are supplied by multiple companies. You could look up the items on a bunch of different websites to see if they "look" similar but that won't work for most things and is probably a waste of time. If you do find that though, then the serial number will be there as well. But, there's pretty much no way you could get the lot number from a website, since that depends on when the bio department bought the materials and whatnot.
Although if you're looking for any drugs or similar chemicals, a good guess would be Sigma-Aldrich. It's always the first place I look for things like that
There are plenty of other places the department could have gotten them, but if you've got nothing else, it can't hurt to guess Sigma.
With actual equipment though, I don't think websites will be of much help.
