TE-1002 Dual Sampling Particulate Vapor Sampling Module SKU: TE-1002

The TE-1002 Dual Sampling Particulate Vapor Sampling Module is a dual chambered aluminum sampling module designed for simultaneous collection of airborne particulates and volatile organic compounds in EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring applications. This critical component serves as the heart of PUF (Polyurethane Foam) samplers used for pesticide monitoring and semi-volatile organic compound analysis.

Dual Chamber Design

The upper chamber supports the airborne particulate filter media in a circular filter holder. The lower chamber encapsulates a glass cartridge which contains the PolyUrethane Foam for vapour entrapment. This configuration enables comprehensive sampling of both particulate-bound and vapor-phase contaminants in a single sampling event, providing complete characterization of ambient air quality.

Technical Operation

The TE-1002 module operates as part of a complete high-volume air sampling system, with air flow rates up to 280 litres per minute. Filter support screens and module components are equipped with gaskets providing a leak proof seal during the sampling process. The dual chambered sampling module is designed for easy access to both upper and lower media. The threaded lower canister is removed with the cartridge intact for immediate exchange.

EPA Method Compliance

The TE-1002 module supports multiple EPA compendium methods for toxic organic compound analysis:

• Compendium Method TO-4A for the Determination of Toxic Organics in Ambient Air - pesticides and PCBs
• Compendium Method TO-9A for the Determination of Toxic Organics in Ambient Air - volatile organics
• Compendium Method TO-13A for the Determination of Toxic Organics in Ambient Air - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Compatible Applications

The TE-1002 sampling module is specifically designed for:

• Collection of volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides
• Efficient collection of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides
• Ambient air sampling of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• PFAS monitoring in ambient air applications

System Integration

The TE-1002 module integrates with Tisch Environmental PUF sampler systems including the TE-1000 series samplers. A wide variety of sorbents can be used in a manner that permits their continual use. Poly urethane foam or wet/dry granular solid media can be used individually or in combination. The module features Tischaloy coating for enhanced durability and chemical resistance in outdoor monitoring applications.

Note: The TE-1002-1 module does not include the glass cartridge, which must be ordered separately for complete system operation.
