Secure Transfusion Solutions (STS) is the only commercial blood collection enterprise that makes 100% use of pathogen-reduction technology (PRT), a system approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that minimizes the risk of bacterial and viral contamination in platelet collections.
Use of PRT eliminates the need for irradiation and provides potential protection against emerging pathogens. Our goal at STS is to be a trusted, reliable and safe source of platelets for hospitals as they deliver life-saving care to patients.
