On February 26th, news broke that on February 25th, Zong Qinghou, the founder and chairman of Wahaha Group, passed away in Hangzhou at the age of 79 after unsuccessful medical treatment.
In these past few days, people have been commemorating Zong Qinghou in various ways, and the topic of "Wahaha Lab's Official Water" has sparked discussions today.
Many netizens recalled that when they were in college, Wahaha's purified water was commonly used as laboratory water.
According to media reports, during an interview with CCTV in 2022, Zong Qinghou responded to the controversy surrounding the use of Wahaha water for experiments by stating that "our purity is relatively high."
It is understood that samples of Wahaha purified water tested for conductivity reached 1.56, meeting the standards for laboratory water (water conductivity ≤5μS/cm), thus achieving laboratory water quality.
Moreover, it offers great value for money, which is why it can be found in various laboratories.
Science communicator "Science Futurist" remarked on this, saying, "We use Watsons for our lab. But I've seen Wahaha in other labs. Some students even mention it in their reports. It's occasionally used for certain experiments."
