Product Description
The µA-YES (microArxula-Yeast Estrogen Screen) is an effect-based 384well assay for the detection of estrogenic activity in various types of water. The µA-YES uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivorans as the estrogen responsive biosensor. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.
Key Characteristics
The µA-YES determines the EEQ (17β-Estradiol Equivalents) and LID (Lowest Ineffective Dilution) of water samples especially such with limited volume like extracts. Only 40 µL of sample per well are required.
Validation and Standardization
The equivalence of µA-YES to the A-YES is proven. The A-YES is a standardized method according to ISO 19040-2:2018.
Data Evaluation

Test Principle
Genetic Modifications
In the yeast genome the gene for the human estrogen receptor (hERα) and a reporter gene cassette have been integrated.
Transactivation
Estrogens and estrogenically 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 17β-Estradiol (E2). 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.
