1. A method of loading a filtering device, comprising:
- measuring a metric indicative of an initial loading of the filtering device;
desirably positioning a quantity of matter proximate the filtering device;
applying a negative pressure to the filtering device such that at least a portion of the quantity of matter is drawn into the filtering device; and
measuring a metric indicative of a final loading of the filtering device.
