Avacta was spun-out from the University of Leeds in 2004 by its current management team as a biophysics company, with the aim of combining the disciplines of physics and biology to develop innovative technologies and expert technical services to address needs in the pharmaceutical, defence and clinical diagnostics markets.

Avacta has a core bio-analytical technology development programme addressing the needs of the biopharmaceutical sector to fully characterise their new products at the earliest stage in their development to reduce the risk of late stage failure. High value solutions in clinical diagnostics are also being targeted for these core bio-analytical technologies and for Avacta's trace gas analysis technology as well as opportunities in industrial and military sensing applications.

A successful and growing part of the Avacta business model is its technical services arm, Avacta Analytical Limited, which is focused on providing leading edge contract research to the biopharmaceutical and healthcare/personal-care materials sectors. Avacta joined AIM in August 2006.
