A sorbent cartridge comprising:
- a sorbent cartridge casing;
- at least one sorbent material inside the sorbent casing;
- and
- a flow control insert;
- the flow control insert comprising a plurality of flow channels filled with the at least one sorbent material;
- the plurality of flow channels extending within the sorbent cartridge casing from an inlet of the sorbent cartridge casing towards an outlet of the sorbent cartridge casing;
