1. An apparatus for analyte detection comprising:
a pressure cell including a sorbent, the sorbent comprising a metal-organic-framework (MOF) material;
a pump coupled to the pressure cell configured to pressurize the sorbent with a fluid containing an analyte;
a sensor configured for detection of the analyte in the sorbent by detecting gamma, beta, or gamma and beta particles; and
a computing device configured to process data received from the sensor and compile multiple sensed properties to produce a signature set of data for the analyte.
