Oceo Rover: Automating Media Hydration for Streamlined Bioprocessing

FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific has introduced the Oceo Rover, an advanced single-use system designed to automate the hydration of media, feeds, and buffers in bioprocessing. This novel technology replaces traditional stirred-tank methods, offering biopharmaceutical manufacturers a more efficient, automated approach to preparing powdered media. By combining prepacked hydration cartridges and a programmable skid, the Oceo Rover simplifies what was once a labor-intensive process.

The system’s user-friendly software precisely controls hydration cycles, delivering the correct volume of water at appropriate intervals to achieve consistent media quality. Designed with regulatory compliance in mind, the Oceo Rover reduces cross-contamination risks and minimizes production variability.

Key Features of the Oceo Rover System:

• Single-use hydration cartridges for easy setup
• Automated hydration with precise water volume control
• Closed system to reduce contamination risks
• Simplifies real-time media and buffer preparation
• Increases consistency and regulatory compliance
• Reduces cold storage needs for liquid media

FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific's Oceo Rover sets a new standard for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, optimizing workflows and improving the consistency of bioprocessing operations.
