Product Description
The A-YES (Arxula-Yeast Estrogen Screen) is an effect-based 96well assay for the detection of estrogenic activity in various types of water samples. The A-YES uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivorans as an estrogen responsive biosensor.
Key Characteristics
The A-YES is a robust assay for analyzing EEQ (17β-Estradiol Equivalents) and LID (Lowest Ineffective Dilution) of samples especially with high matrix load or with high salt content. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.
Validation and Standardization
The A-YES is a standardized method according to ISO 19040-2:2018. An international interlaboratory trial was performed for method validation.
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.
