AVIVA Biosciences is a biotechnology research company that operates as a contract research organization focused on safety screening with emphasis on ion channels and cardiovascular mechanics. Its assays are customizable to evaluate how compounds affect cardiac cells and ion channels, covering endpoints such as action potential prolongation, ion channel effects, contraction, viability, and related safety readouts. Based in San Diego, California, AVIVA has introduced its own instrument and filter array system that separates mixed cell populations by size and shape, enabling high recovery of nucleated cells while retaining leukocytes for analysis. The firm also has a legacy in automated voltage-clamp technology, with a biochip that established a standard for gigaohm seals and has been upgraded to improve performance across cell types.
