Scientific Communication for a Novel Sublingual Drug Delivery Platform
Client: IX BioPharma
IX BioPharma is a pharmaceutical company developing novel drug delivery technologies.
WaferiX is a patented sublingual wafer-based delivery system designed to enable rapid absorption while reducing loss associated with hepatic and gastrointestinal metabolism.
The project was commissioned as part of IX BioPharma’s broader rebrand, requiring the visuals to communicate scientific credibility, process clarity, and brand alignment.
“Working with Triken Studios was smooth, efficient, and well managed. After sharing our initial ideas, the team handled execution with clarity and precision. Every review round showed strong progress, and the final video aligned closely with our original brief.”

The challenge
WaferiX represents a non-standard drug delivery mechanism that is not immediately intuitive to non-specialist audiences.
The communication challenge was to:
• Explain the delivery mechanism clearly without oversimplification
• Visually represent dissolution and absorption processes accurately
• Align the scientific explanation with a newly established brand system
• Maintain credibility suitable for pharmaceutical and regulatory-facing contexts
The approach
Triken Studios developed a mixed 2D and 3D visual system to explain the WaferiX delivery process with precision and restraint.
The visual approach focused on:
-
Process clarity over anatomical detail
-
Step-by-step visual sequencing of dissolution and absorption
-
Abstract representation of diffusion and osmosis to reflect the underlying mechanism
-
Controlled use of motion and transitions to reinforce scientific intent rather than visual effect
The storyboard and colour system were aligned to IX BioPharma’s updated brand palette, ensuring consistency between corporate identity and product communication.
Deployment & outcome
The visuals were deployed as a core product communication asset supporting IX BioPharma’s rebrand and external presentation of the WaferiX technology.
The final delivery provided a clear, structured visual explanation of a novel drug delivery system while maintaining pharmaceutical-appropriate tone and accuracy.
The work supported both brand alignment and technical understanding of WaferiX as a differentiated delivery platform.
