hommade DNA at machine project

DIY scientists were teaching how to extract DNA at home. I don't remember the entire formula, but it was something like this: 

saliva+ contact lens solution to isolate protein + some cleaning liquid + bacardi (which has to float). 

While waiting for the DNA to detach we put the cups on the floor. Then there was a break, so everybody went up to get cookies and beer. I also got up and stepped right on the glass). The whole mix was on the floor and someone's coat... In short, complete waste of DNA, plus it wasn't mine, I felt awful.
