8" x 10" Aluminum Hold Down Frame for TE-3000 Cartridge SKU: TE-3000-2

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.
