InTray® GC

Photo: Positive visual detection of gonorrhea on the InTray GC selective media — within 24-48 hours

**Qualitative detection of oral, rectal and genitourethral Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonization.**

N. gonorrhoeae is a common sexually transmitted disease organism broadly disseminated throughout the world. InTray GC is a fully enclosed IVD which enables sample collection, transport, culture and identification in a single device — this simplifies diagnostic procedures, lab costs, and reduces exposure to both the user and the sample. The proprietary modified Thayer-Martin agar is selective for gonococcal bacteria, and results can be interpreted after 24-48 hours incubation.

InTray GC's dynamic built-in components and features are designed for user compatibility and ease of detection.

The following are key highlights that come with this product:

Single exposure system
A “ready to start” 5% CO2 environment
Modified Thayer Martin medium, selective for N. gonorrhoeae
Direct observation of the culture with anti-fog viewing
Incubatory and transport capabilities
Extended 12-month shelf-life

Specifications

Product Principle	Combine collection, culture and observation in one IVD device. Modified Thayer Martin medium, selective for GC ^[2] “Ready to Start” activatable 5% CO₂ environment Highly selective prepared media in a device designed for in-vitro culture and incubation
Simple Convenience	No expensive CO₂ incubator required InTray is designed for specimen collection/ inoculation at point-of-care Saves time, material cost and waste, reducing exposure to collected sample
Accurate Detection	*N. gonorrhoeae* Growth *N. meningitidis* Growth C. albicans Inhibited E. coli Inhibited P. mirabilis Inhibited S. epidermatis Inhibited N. sicca Inhibited
Time to Result	Incubate 24-48 hours Incubate InTray GC flat to avoid moisture leaking into the CO₂ pill chamber. Incubate right side up for 24–48 hours at 37°C (98.6°F) under ambient atmosphere.
Storage	Extended 12 month shelf life (2-8°C) from the date of manufacture However, InTray GC can tolerate extended periods at 2-25˚C (36-72°F), with no loss in performance, i.e. for transport, storage, etc.
Specimen	Oral swab Rectal swab Genitourethral swabs Pharyngeal Swab
