The TE-3000-2 is a precision-machined aluminum hold down frame designed specifically for the TE-3000 8" x 10" filter media cartridge used in Tisch Environmental high volume air samplers. This essential component secures the filter cartridge assembly within the sampler's filter holder, ensuring proper sealing and stable positioning during sampling operations.
The aluminum construction provides excellent durability while maintaining dimensional stability under varying environmental conditions. The frame creates a reliable seal between the cartridge and filter holder, preventing air bypass that could compromise sampling accuracy. The cartridge is secured to the impactor base with thumb-screws and permits removal of the entire filter assembly to a convenient location for filter handling.
