for the fill time, and we find that the sorption kinetics is<br />

independent of the analyte activity, but inversely proportional to<br />

the saturation vapor pressure of the analyte. Saturation vapor<br />

pressures vary greatly from analyte to analyte, making response<br />

kinetics a powerful method of analyte discrimination, even with a<br />

single sensor. Finally, we suggest that when the sensing environment<br />

presents fluctuations in the analyte activity, an analysis of<br />

the fluctuations in the sensor response fluctuations can be used<br />

to extract the sorption kinetics. This approach would obviate the<br />

need for an engineered flow system that can deliver an analyte<br />

pulse and will be the focus of our future work.<br />
