The sequencing machines were probably not designed to deal with dirt. Some small chance that it is a problem with the machines.

The sequencing machines are probably designed to deal with DNA that's been extracted and purified, which is presumably want the scientist gave it from the mud, rather than shoveling mud into a sequencer. (And, since once they had characterized “Borgs” from their samples they then found a bunch more in public databases...)
