The JEMBEC system was developed specifically for transporting culture media inoculated with specimens for N.gonorrhoeae (GC) cultures.This method of transport increases the yield of organisms recovered from cultures.This system consists of a media selective for Neisseria spp., a Ziploc plastic bag, and a tablet.The tablet is added to the proper spot, a couple drops of water are added to the table, then the cover is placed on the media.The entire plate is inserted into the plastic bag and sealed so that an atmosphere high in carbon dioxide can be generated.
