Product Description
The A-YAS (Arxula-Yeast Androgen Screen) is an effect-based 96well assay for the detection of androgenic activity in various types of water samples. The A-YAS uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivorans as the androgen responsive biosensor. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.


Key Characteristics Key Characteristics

The A-YAS determines the DHTEQ (5α-Dihydrotestosterone Equivalents) of samples with high matrix load.

Validation and Standardization

A factorial in-house validation was performed for method validation of the A-YAS.

Test Principle

Genetic Modifications

In the yeast genome the gene for the human androgen receptor (hAR) and a reporter gene cassette have been integrated.

Transactivation

Androgens and androgenically 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 5α-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).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.
