Product Description
The A-YPS (Arxula-Yeast Progesterone Screen) is an effect-based 96well assay for the detection of progestogenic activity in various types of water samples. The A-YPS uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivorans as the progesterone responsive biosensor. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.
Key Characteristics
The A-YPS determines the PEQ (Progesterone Equivalents) of water samples with high matrix load.
Validation and Standardization
A factorial in-house validation was performed for method validation of the A-YPS.
Data Evaluation
Concerned about data analysis? With the purchase of our test kits you get free access to BioVAL for the statistical analysis and reporting of your test results.
Support
Will this test fits to my purposes? We give sufficient support for choosing the right test for your application as well as before and during test establishment and for data evaluation.
Type of samples
Ultrapure, drinking and mineral water
Surface water
Ground water and well water
Sewage
Aqueous extracts
and for substance testing
Test Principle
Genetic Modifications
In the yeast genome the gene for human progesterone receptor β (hPRβ) and a reporter gene cassette have been integrated.
Transactivation
Progestogens and progestogenically active substances bind to the receptors and the resulting complexes trigger the transcription of the reporter gene.
Calibration
The reference standard for calibration and quantification is Progesterone. The dose-response curve corresponds to a non-linear model.
Detection
The detection is performed photometrical after reaction of the reporter enzyme with the chromogenic substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate at 405 nm.
