Do you have data that supports this postulate? IS it actually a requirement that the sample be pure?
They used a pure product for their next step. They say so.
Therefore if the claim is made that the conditions were indeed PreBiotic, then the product must have been pure, or they were not PreBiotic conditions.
We don't have the full paper so we can't really speculate much on this. They may provide some reasoning in the paper for the assumption that a pure product is achieved. It may even be the case that the DOW machine mimics some naturally ocurring purification process, like the zeolites or clays or whatever. We need the full paper, we only have the methods, not the reasonings behind them.
