Product Description
The A-YASlumi (Arxula-Yeast Androgen Screen) with luminescence detection is an effect-based 96well assay for the fast and sensitive determination of the androgenic activity in various types of aqueous samples. The A-YASlumi uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivoransas an androgen responsive biosensor. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.
Key Characteristics
The A-YASlumi determines the DHTEQ (5α-Dihydrotestosterone Equivalents) in aqueous samples with minimal requirement of sample volume. The assay has a superior sensitivity and can be used as a fast-screening test prior to chemical analysis.
Validation and Standardization
A factorial in-house validation was performed for method validation of the A-YASlumi.

Test Principle
Genetic Modifications
In the yeast genome the gene for the 1 human androgen receptor (hAR) and a reporter gene cassette have been integrated.
Detection
The detection of light is performed after reaction of the reporter enzyme luciferase with the substrate luciferin.
Transactivation
Androgens and androgen-like 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 5α-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The dose-response curve corresponds to a non-linear model.
