Standard practice in clinics involve using a guanine and cytosine selective (GC) plate for transport and incubation. Other devices were assessed in two different studies. MWE\u2019s Sigma VCM\u2122-a transport device for use between clinic and laboratory-was used in one study ( n = 166). In the other, ( n = 102), Biomed\u2019s Intray\u2122 plates were used, which can be used for both initial transport and incubation at the destination laboratory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the Sigma VCM\u2122 study, positive results were obtained for 14% (Sigma VCM\u2122), 21% (GC plates); the distribution of outcomes did not significantly differ between the two microbiological sampling methods ( p-value 0.09, Chi-squared test). Concerning the InTray\u2122 sub-study, N. gonorrhoeae was detected in 9% (InTray\u2122), 13% (GC plating) of cases respectively, with again no significant difference between the microbiological sampling methods ( p-value 0.25). Regression analysis identified a significant association between N. gonorrhoeae detection and male patients, absence of dysuria and previous gonorrhoea infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No significant difference in rate of microbiological detection of N. gonorrhoeae could be detected between different transport devices in a sexual health clinic setting.
