FUJIFILM Streamlines Media Hydration with Automation

A media hydration system along with streamlined automation marked the birth of Oceo Rover from FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific.

FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific, a world leader in biopharmaceutical manufacturing-precision and efficiency with over 50 years of experience in developing and optimizing cell culture media, is launching its new media hydration system in North America and Japan. The latest innovation from the company is nothing but Oceo Rover, which is designed to push forward its commitment to advancing technologies involved in bioprocessing. 

The groundbreaking, single-use, automated hydration system is designed to transform workflows by simplifying and automating the hydration of media, feeds, and buffers. With state-of-the-art technology in conjunction with a collaborative approach to customer support, FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific’s Oceo Rover marks a new standard for efficiency, safety, and consistency in bioprocessing operations.

Automation with the Oceo Rover Platform ?

Traditionally, hydration of powdered media and buffers for bioprocessing has been laborious in addition to risks from contamination and inconsistency. The Oceo Rover system changes this approach through automation with a combination of prepacked, single-use hydration cartridges with a programmable skid that ensures precise and consistent hydration. With user-friendly automation software, the system delivers prescise volume of water needed to bulk powders and supplements while optimizing the hydration process and minimizing variability and contamination risks.

The system comes with real-time media preparation capability, which reduces the requirement for large-scale liquid storage; therefore, it is very valuable in continuous processing workflows. Besides, by integrating a closed system, the Oceo Rover is enhancing regulatory compliance, reproducability and worker safety thus addressing a few of the major pain points of biopharmaceutical production.

Game Changer for Robotic Laboratories

The Oceo Rover system is the new alternative to stirred tank mixing technology, highlighting simplicity, efficiency, and scalability. FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific supports single-use consumables combined with custom-designed media services as a one-stop-shop solution that saves time and operational expenses. It increases flexibility while maintaining reproducible performance under ever-changing conditions in a biopharmaceutical setting.

According to Yutaka Yamaguchi, Chairman and CEO of FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific, the Oceo Rover system will greatly impact future directions for single-use technologies and bioprocessing operations as this technology platform is an integration of the company’s custom media services for leading the way to more efficient innovation in the industry.

Future of Bioprocessing – Automation?

An Oceo Rover by FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific is a new means of bioprocessing that transforms work using an advanced hydration system based on automation. The novel means of stirred tank mixing replaces conventional stirred tank mixing and delivers efficiency, scalability, and precision in the hydration of media, feeds, and buffers in real time. With its use of single-use technology and advanced automation, Oceo Rover lowers operational costs, minimizes the risks of contamination, and assures consistency in performance. With its expert media design services and also customer support, the new platform positions manufacturers to better meet the growing needs for modern biopharmaceutical production with more confidence and efficiency.
