  • Detector for detecting analytes in gas phase comprising porous dielectric or semiconducting sorbent and corresponding detection method
    Patent number: 11892429
    Abstract: A detector for, and a method of, detecting analytes in gases in described. The detector comprises a sorbent for sorbing therein and/or thereon and/or desorbing therefrom, an analyte included in a gas exposed thereto, at a zeroth temperature, pressure (T0,P0), a controller arranged to change the zeroth temperature, pressure (T0,P0) to a first temperature, pressure (T1,P1) according to a first equation, to desorb and/or sorb at least some of the analyte; and a sensor arranged to sense at least some of the analyte and to output a response corresponding to the sensed analyte. The response comprises and/or is a characteristic response of the analyte. The first response is modified based on a first baseline response at the zeroth temperature, pressure (T0,P0).
