About Us
Yenos Analytical
Our mission is to develop accurate and reliable early cancer/disease screening tests and urge insurers to include them in regular adult check-ups.
Yenos in Greek means birthing, family, and/or origin. In English, it is erroneously referred to as Genos. In 1909, Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity.
We are led by a retired Professor from the University of California at Santa Cruz, CA. She is an inventor, NASA, and NIH grantee with extensive pharmaceutical and biotechnology experience in assay development (Dr. Anastassia Kanavarioti).
We are delivering custom analytical solutions for native, synthetic, or transcribed nucleic acids (see Kanavarioti, A. HPLC methods for purity evaluation of man-made single-stranded RNAs. Sci Rep 9, 1019 (2019).

We have also developed and validated a process to add heavy labels on DNA or RNA and use these modified nucleic acids in conjunction with nanopore-array single-molecule detection. This project led to the accurate quantification of nucleic acids, including microRNAs.

TESTIMONIALS
My name is Xenia S. I live in Greece and was visiting California in May. I took the Yenos cancer urine test and was pleased to find out that I am cancer free.
My name is Denny K., I am 47 years old and have 3 kids who are now taller than I. Sometimes I worry about breast cancer, so I took the Yenos cancer urine test and was happy to find out that I am cancer free.
My name is Lisa F. and I am 54 years old. I recently became aware of a quick, easy and painless urine test I could take to screen for cancer. It is located in my hometown of El Dorado Hills, California at the Yenos Analytical lab. Within a matter of days, I was reassured that I am cancer free.
My name is Rick F. and I am 59 years old. While most men, like myself, are reluctant to visit a doctor or have lab tests done, I was at ease submitting a simple urine test to Yenos Analytical lab in El Dorado Hills. I was fortunate to quickly learn I didn’t have prostate cancer or any other cancers. What a relief!
My name is Tessi K. and I am 71 years old. For the last 30 years, my doctor recommends that I do a mammogram and I did it twice and promised never to do it again. I took the Yenos cancer test, both blood and urine, and I come out free of cancer.
My name is Janette B. and I am 31 years old. I exercise, eat healthy and glad to know that there is a multi-cancer early detection test, the Yenos urine test, that includes people as young as I.
