Within the DIN/ISO group we work on the standardization of the Yeast Estrogen Screen, Aruxula-YES, E-Screen, and ER-CALUX as bioassays to analyze the estrogenic activity of chemicals, wastewater and other environmental samples. We are working on common guidelines and perform round robin studies. The aim of this is to include bioanalytical tools and endocrine endpoints in European and international environmental legislation.
