Abstract
A method comprising passing a fluid through a negative sorting device. The negative sorting device produces a negatively sorted stream of the fluid from which any particles present in the fluid that are above a threshold size have been removed. The negatively sorted stream is analyzed to obtain a measure of a concentration of particles of interest in the negatively sorted stream. The particles of interest have a size that is less than or equal to the threshold size.
