To drive down the cost of goods, biomanufacturers are striving towards maximizing facility utilization, increasing process efficiency, and maintaining a robust supply chain—all without compromising the quality of the final product.
Designed specifically for the hydration of powdered media, feeds, or buffers, the Oceo Rover single-use system delivers consistent solutions on demand in less than half the time of conventional processes. In this session, you will learn how to transform your bioprocessing operations with the first alternative system for media feed and buffer preparation. The Oceo Rover will be demonstrated together with chemically defined media from FUJFILM Irvine Scientific to help you achieve greater efficiencies.
Discover how the Oceo Rover:
- Delivers bioprocessing solutions for both process development and manufacturing, in the upstream and downstream environment, and across multiple modalities
- Hydrates and sterilizes media, feeds, or buffers as a single-unit operation
- Provides repeatable and scalable results using prepacked, single-use cartridges with our chemically defined media portfolio
- Improves environmental, health, and safety considerations and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination via a self-contained system
- Features access to world-class support to help you identify the ideal hydration protocol and optimize your workflows
- Guy Matthews - Director Single Use Technology, FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific
