I came across an email address for someone doing a talk about the Oxford
University involvement and so sent a message off asking her about the areas
selected for testing and about possible contamination etc. She assured me
that the samples were very carefully selected from appropriate areas and
that the samples were cleaned to remove any contaminants. I don't think they
had any doubts over the accuracy of their tests.
