Abstract
A fluid sampling device, the device having a fluid composition sensor configured to receive a fluid sample and capture a plurality of particles from the fluid sample at a collection media, wherein the fluid composition sensor is further configured to generate particle data associated with the plurality of particles using a particle imaging operation, and a controller, the controller being configured to: determine an optimal sample volume associated with a sample collection operation based at least in part on a particle load condition defined by the plurality of particles captured at the collection media during the sample collection operation, and update one or more operational characteristics of the fluid composition sensor such that the sample collection operation is defined at least in part by the optimal sample volume.
