First, I want to disagree, that Anodite DNA is not in the Omnitrix, it is likely there, since there are at leats 3 sources for Ben to have acquired from (on multiple occasions no less), and anyone who wants to say they can't be acquired because they're Mana based, I direct you to the various other incorporeal alien Ben already has: Ghostfreak (An Ectonurite, which are so ghostly that they have no mana), NRG (A  Prypiatosian-B, which is nothing but sentient and sapient radiation being held in a containment suit), Gutrot (Species Unknonw, but a Living Gas in a containment suit), Atomix (Species Unknown... like to say it is a Huminahuminahuminan, but that is just cause I think that sounds hysterical... which is so much tremendous atomic energy in a containment suit that he has to worry about meltdown)... and then there are the inorganic Aliens like Nanomech and Upgrade (both of which were invented by people seen in the show), which shouldn't theoretically have any dna, yet Ben has them in the Omnitrix.

Now that hat is covered, why I think Ben doesn't have Slimebiote in the Omnitrix and was unable to attain it.

1) Azmuth thought the species was long extinct, and wanted to study Skurd, something he wouldn't if he had a dna sample already of the species.

2) Skurd was terrified of being teleport alone due to being single celled and therefore shredded and destroyed if ported.

3) The Omnitrix has in the past actually stated insufficient DNA to acquire a sample

This leads me to believe that since Skurd is single celled, it would require a mass of uncontained Slimebiotes for Ben to aquire a sample, Skurd being too small a sample by himself. For Skurd to be aquired, he would have been absorbed, similar to how Zs'Skayr was sucked in, and it would take a long time for Skurd to seperate himself from the Omnitrix and Copysplat (my idea for Ben's Slimebiote Alien Hero Name) to be his own Slimebiote again.
