Avidity

Executive Summary

Avidity is a private biotechnology company specializing in molecular affinity tools, primarily its proprietary AviTag™ technology for site-specific biotinylation of proteins. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Diego, the company serves the life science research and diagnostics markets. Its AviTag system enables oriented immobilization on streptavidin-coated surfaces, enhancing binding interactions for assays and screening. The technology has been widely adopted in proteomics and drug discovery. Avidity's established position in the reagent market provides a steady revenue stream, though growth is tied to research funding cycles.
