CTS History

In August, the CTS Tampa lab transitioned to the same laboratory information systems (LIS) as the Dallas and Phoenix labs. The ability to test healthcare partner samples at any one of the three labs is a critical element in creating the reliability the CTS healthcare partners desire so they can provide the blood that saves patients’ lives.

In January, CTS is incorporated as a non-profit organization owned by Vitalant and OneBlood (formerly Florida Blood Services) with three laboratories located in Dallas, Phoenix and Tampa. CTS test 4.3 million blood donations or approximately 25 percent of the U.S. blood supply.
