Product catalog summary
Product Overview
BioMed Diagnostics’ InTray™ Colorex™ Screen is a multifunctional device designed for microbiology sample collection, transport, and culture. It facilitates simultaneous growth, observation, and chromogenic differentiation of pathogenic species, particularly those found in urinary tract infections (UTIs). The device integrates several procedures into one, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs and exposure risks.
Key Benefits
  • High Throughput: No additional culture preparation needed after inoculation.
  • Cost Savings: Reduces laboratory materials and medical waste.
  • High Specificity: Selective growth of specified pathogenic species.
  • Convenience: Combines collection, culture, and observation in one device.
  • Ease of Use: Minimal lab procedures and equipment required.
  • Storage: One-year shelf life under recommended refrigeration (2-8 °C).
  • Safety: Fully enclosed system prevents contamination and reduces exposure.
Product Specifications
  • Storage: Refrigeration recommended (2-8 °C).
  • Shelf Life: 12 months.
  • Incubation: 18-24 hours at 37 °C.
  • Packaging: Available in 5 Pack (10-7107) and 20 Pack (10-7101).
Detection and Observation
The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen produces distinctive color and morphology differences between pathogenic species, aiding in preliminary detection. It inhibits the growth of yeasts, mold, and fungi, ensuring accurate results. Visual results include:
  • Escherichia coli: Dark Pink to Reddish
  • Enterococcus species: Turquoise Blue
  • Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter: Metallic Blue
  • Proteus mirabilis: Brown with halo
  • Staphylococcus aureus: Golden, Opaque, small
  • Staphylococcus saprophyticus: Pink, Opaque, small
Quality Control
The product undergoes rigorous quality control testing with clinical isolates or ATCC strains to ensure viability, doubling time, and sterility throughout its shelf life.
Background on UTIs
UTIs are a common health issue, with Escherichia coli being the predominant pathogen. The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen aids in easy in-house UTI screening and organism identification, resolving 80% of UTI cases without confirmatory tests.
Usage Directions
Before inoculation, bring the device to room temperature. It can be used with various sample types, including urine, skin, and throat samples. The device is designed for easy inoculation and culture, with results observable within 24 hours.
Corporate Overview
BioMed Diagnostics, Inc., established in 1989, is a leader in developing in vitro diagnostic devices. The company focuses on creating robust diagnostic tools for use in diverse environments, supporting medical professionals and scientists worldwide.

InTray™ Colorex™ Screen-1

Primarily for use in isolation and differentiation of urinary tract pathogens, as well as differentiation of microorganisms from other infected areas. VALUE High Throughput - Once the device is inoculated no other culture preparation is required saving time Cost Savings - Reduces laboratory materials and medical waste High specificity - Selective for the growth of specified pathogenic species BENEFITS Convenient - Combines collection, culture, and observation into one device Easy to use - Minimal lab procedures and equipment needed Easy to store - One year shelf life under temperature Easy observation - No fogging or condensation on the InTray™ viewing window Safe - Fully enclosed InTray™ system prevents contamination and reduces exposure to collected samples PRODUCT SPECIFICS Storage - Refrigeration recommended (2-8 °C) Shelf Life - 12 months Incubation - 18-24 hours at 37 °C Quantity Sold -5 Pack (10-7107) 20 Pack (10-7101) PRODUCT BIO BioMed Diagnostics' InTray™ Colorex™ Screen serves as a microbiology sample collection, transport, and culture device. The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen allows for simultaneous growth, observation, and chromogenic differentiation of selected pathogenic species frequently found in the urinary tract, including gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria. BioMed’s patented InTray™ system saves time and money, while reducing exposure to collected samples by combining several procedures into a single device. The patented InTray™ system consists of a re-closable outer seal containing an optically clear, anti-fog window. The seal creates an airtight 2” diameter chamber providing a large enough area to streak for isolation. The innovative design of the InTray™ high-performance viewing window makes it possible to place the device directly under a microscope. This removes the need to prepare slides and prevents unnecessary exposure of the sample after inoculation. BioMed’s InTray™ system negates the need for multiple procedures increasing throughput and decreasing the cost of laboratory materials and medical waste. Additionally, the InTray™ design lends itself to high performance not only in laboratory settings, but also off-site locations or austere environments. The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen can be stored up to twelve months if kept under refrigeration (2-8 °C). The InTray™ system is equipped with a small air filter, in addition to its airtight seal, creating a controlled air exchange. The airtight seal and controlled air exchange system maintain the integrity of the growth environment inside the device. The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen makes preliminary detection easy by producing distinctive color and morphology differences between selected pathogenic species, sometimes within as little as 24 hours. The InTray Colorex™ Screen inhibits the growth of yeasts, mold, and fungi. InTray™ Colorex™ Screen’s specially formulated media makes detection and preliminary identification easy while inhibiting potential interference in obtaining accurate results. Visual Results: • Escherichia coli - Dark Pink to Reddish • Enterococcus species - Turquoise Blue • Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter -Metallic Blue • Proteus mirabilis - Brown with halo • Staphylococcus aureus - Golden, Opaque, small • Staphylococcus saprophyticus - Pink, Opaque, small QUALITY CONTROL The InTray™ Colorex™ Screen is tested with either clinical isolates or ATCC strains of the indicated species. At the time of manufacture, quality control tests are preformed on each lot of InTray™ Colorex™ Screen to ensure viability, doubling time, and sterility. These tests are repeated throughout the product shelf life by BioMed Diagnostics confirming the ability of the InTray™ Colorex™ Screen to support growth of selected pathogen
