Specifications

Product Principle:

  • Combine collection, culture, result and microscopic observation in one IVD device.
  • Highly selective prepared media in a device designed for in-vitro specimen transport and incubation.
  • Rapid presumptive-positive diagnosis without re-plating. InTray can be placed directly on microscope stage
  • Fully enclosed device with Tyvek® air filtration prevents contamination and exposure, post-collection.

Simple Convenience:

  • InTray is designed for specimen collection and inoculation at point-of-care
  • Saves time, material cost and waste, reducing exposure to collected sample
  • Place directly on the microscope tray for observation through the cassette’s clear anti-fog window
  • Visual chromogenic differentiation

Accurate Detection:

Test Strain ATCC # Appearance
S. agalatiae 12386 Mauve
S. agalactiae 13813 Mauve
E. faecalis 29212 Metallic blue
E. coli 25922 Inhibited
C. albicans 60193 Inhibited

Time Result:

  • Incubate at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours under ambient atmosphere.
  • Colonies of S. agalactiae spp. appear deep pink to mauve. Non S. agalactiae bacteria are blue, colorless or are inhibited. Latex agglutination testing can be performed directly from the colony.

Storage:

  • InTray COLOREX GBS has a 6-month expiration date from the date of manufacturing.
  • Upon receipt, store InTray COLOREX GBS under refrigeration (2-8°C). Medium can be kept for one day at ambient temperature. Protect media from exposure to light, excessive heat, moisture and freezing. Do not open until ready to use. Do not use if the medium shows signs of deterioration, shrinking, cracking, discoloration or contamination

Specimen:

  • Vaginal swab
  • Rectal swab
  • Urine
  • Feces
