Product Description
The A-YPSlumi (Arxula-Yeast Progesterone Screen) with luminescence detection is an effect-based 96well assay for the detection of progestogenic activity in various types of water samples. The A-YPSlumi 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-YPSlumi determines the PEQ (Progesterone Equivalents) of in aqueous samples with minimal requirement of sample volume. The assay 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-YPSlumi.

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 of light is performed after reaction of the reporter enzyme luciferase with the substrate luciferin.
