Abstract
An analyte capture device and related systems and methods are provided. The analyte capture device includes a glass material, an outer surface defined by the glass material, and a plurality of pores formed in the glass material along at least a portion of the outer surface. The analyte capture device is exposed to an environment containing an analyte for a period of time such that the analyte is captured within the plurality of pores of the glass material. The concentration of the analyte within the glass material is greater than a concentration of the analyte within the environment. The analyte capture device is then removed from the environment, and a property of the analyte within the analyte capture device is detected via an analyte detection system.
