This is how we prepared Jayson's water!

Back in the lab in Switzerland, we had to prepare Artificial Sea Water (ASW), basically dissolving a mix of salts mimicking sea water. Now, the whole process is much much simpler 🤪

🌊 Did you know that seawater has a salinity concentration of about 35 ppt (≈ 3.5%).

🩸 For example, (mammals) blood has a salinity concentration of about 9 ppt (≈ 0.9%).

🌊 ↗️ 🩸 This makes Seawater hypertonic to blood because it contains a higher concentration of solutes!
