PUF Glass Cartridge for PNY Air Sampling Systems SKU: TE-1123-5

The TE-1123-5 is a precision-engineered polyurethane foam (PUF) glass cartridge specifically designed for PNY air sampling systems. This high-volume cartridge uses precleaned polyurethane foam media packed in a borosilicate glass sleeve for collecting pesticide samples and other semi-volatile organic compounds from ambient air.

Technical Specifications

• Outer Diameter: 2 7/8 inches (73 mm)
• Length: 5 3/4 inches (146 mm)
• Material: Borosilicate glass housing with stainless steel support screens
• Flow Rate: Compatible with 125-250 lpm sampling systems

EPA Compliance Applications

This PUF cartridge is designed to meet requirements for US EPA sampling methods including TO-4A (pesticides and PCBs), TO-9A (dioxins and furans), and TO-13A (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). The high-volume design enables ambient air sampling of organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at flow rates up to 250 L/min.

System Compatibility

This cartridge is engineered specifically for PNY (Polyurethane New York) air sampling systems and other high-volume samplers with compatible cartridge holders. The precise dimensions ensure proper fit in Tisch Environmental and Anderson sampler systems. The glass construction provides chemical inertness and prevents sample contamination during collection periods.

Sampling Media Performance

The polyurethane foam media is precleaned to ensure low background contamination levels, making it suitable for trace-level analysis of persistent organic pollutants. The cartridge design allows for efficient vapor capture through the foam matrix while maintaining consistent flow characteristics throughout extended sampling periods.

Quality Assurance

Each TE-1123-5 cartridge undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure dimensional accuracy and media cleanliness. The borosilicate glass construction provides durability for field deployment while maintaining sample integrity for subsequent laboratory analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques.
