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. Slimbiotes predate all DNA based lifeforms in the universe, The Omnitrix may not be able to sample a Slimebiote since he may carry DNA of a common ancestor of all alien species including the human race.
