Late to the discussion (ahem, Xmas family computing mayhem)

This whole thing sounds miserable and I'm still concerned that, in an abundance of (their) caution, you're going to enjoy enough positives or inconclusives requiring the real deal that you might as well go all of the way from the start.

Related "thank god not my job" content - early in my professional life I needed to do semiannual bioassays for Pu and Am. At least then that meant each affected employee toted, over the year, four 1-L bottles of urine to be boiled down and counted. I think now they use more precise ICP-MS or other tools, but the older health physics dudes told horrifying stories of the bioassay lab's HVAC going down (there were probably 400 of us in the program)
