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

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a common sexually transmitted disease organism broadly disseminated throughout the world. InTray GC is a fully enclosed microbiology cassette, which enables sample collection, transport, culture and identification in a single unit. The proprietary modified Thayer Martin agar is selective for gonococcal bacteria. Results can be interpreted after 24-72 hours incubation. InTray GC is a single exposure culture system with dynamic built-in components and features that are designed for user compatibility and ease of detection.

Specifications

Product Principle	Combine collection, culture and transport into 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	*Neisseria gonorrhoeae* Growth *Neisseria meningitidis* Growth Candida albicans Inhibited Escherichia coli Inhibited Proteus mirabilis Inhibited Staphylococcus epidermidis Inhibited Neisseria sicca Inhibited
Time to Result	Incubate InTray GC flat to avoid moisture leaking into the CO₂ pill chamber. Incubate the tray right side up for 24–72 hours at 35°C (95°F) under ambient atmosphere. If InTray GC is being used for transport, to any laboratory located outside of the facility where collection was performed, then pre-incubation at 35°C for 24 hours is required. After the pre-incubation step, InTray GC can be transported up to 72 hours at ambient temperature (18-25°C) to the testing laboratory for analysis.
Storage	Extended 12 month shelf life from the date of manufacture InTrayGC is compatible with storage at room temperature. However, for optimal performance store at 2-8˚C Do not freeze. InTray GC can be transported up to 72 hours at ambient temperature (18-25°C) to the testing laboratory for analysis.
Specimen	Oral swab Rectal swab Genitourethral swabs Pharyngeal Swab
CPT Codes	87081 \| 87088 \| 87070
