The S-YESᴹᴰ determines the EEQ (17β-Estradiol Equivalents) of water samples. Two method protocols can be applied for this test kit.
A factorial in-house validation was performed for method validation of the S-YESᴹᴰ.
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.
The yeast carries a plasmid with a cassette including the human estrogen receptor gene (hERα) and a plasmid with a reporter gene cassette including the lacZ gene.
Estrogens and estrogenically active substances bind to the receptors and the resulting complexes trigger the transcription of the reporter gene.
The detection is performed photometrical after reaction of the reporter enzyme with the chromogenic substrate Chlorophenol Red-β-D-galactopyranoside at 580 nm.
The reference standard for calibration and quantification is 17β-Estradiol (E2). The dose-response curve corresponds to a non-linear model.
