The shelving unit includes a set of support members forming a plurality of housing portions in which the sorbent article is housed. The support members include first support members extending parallel to each other in a first orientation, and second support members extending parallel to each other in a second orientation different from the first orientation. The second support members include an internal channel configured to receive the desorbing media, and a plurality of openings through which the desorbing media that is received in the internal channel is configured to pass into the housing portion in which the sorbent article is housed to facilitate adsorption
