Product Description
The A-YBSlumi (Arxula-Yeast Bisphenol Screen) with luminescence detection is an effect-based 96well assay for the fast and sensitive determination of the cumulative activity of Bisphenols in various types of aqueous samples. The A-YBSlumi uses the non-conventional and recombinant yeast Arxula adeninivorans as a bisphenol responsive biosensor. No sterile conditions are required for the whole test procedure.
Key Characteristics
The A-YBSlumi determines the BPAEQ (Bisphenol A Equivalents) of aqueous samples with a less use of sample volume. This test is sensitive and specific for the detection of bisphenols especially bisphenol A and bisphenol Z.
Validation and Standardization
A factorial in-house validation was performed for method validation of the A-YBSlumi.

Test Principle
Genetic Modifications
In the yeast genome the gene for modificated1 human estrogen receptor (hERα) and a reporter gene cassette have been integrated.
Transactivation
Bisphenols bind to the receptors and the resulting complexes trigger the transcription of the reporter gene.
Calibration
The reference standard for calibration and quantification is bisphenol A (bpA). 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.
