Cerus Corporation specializes in the manufacturing and support of pathogen reduction technologies for blood components, with a primary focus on the Intercept Platelet Processing System and related diagnostic substances. The company provides end-to-end solutions for blood safety, including in-vitro diagnostic kits, automated processing sets with dual storage containers, and integrated service maintenance for specialized illumination equipment used in blood processing workflows. Their technical expertise centers on photodynamic pathogen inactivation, sterile containment systems, and precision instrumentation for transfusion medicine, enabling the reduction of transfusion-transmitted infections in platelets and red blood cells. Cerus distinguishes itself through proprietary technology that inactivates viruses, bacteria, and parasites without compromising cellular function, making it a critical enabler for military and civilian blood banks requiring high-integrity, pathogen-free blood products. The company maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering mission-critical blood safety systems for forward-deployed medical units and transfusion medicine programs. The Department of Health and Human Services also engages Cerus for research and development of next-generation pathogen reduction applications, particularly for red blood cell components. These partnerships reflect a trusted, long-term role in supporting national blood supply readiness and public health infrastructure. Cerus operates primarily within NAICS 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing) and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), with complementary work in equipment maintenance and biotechnology R&D. Their market positioning is firmly anchored in the transfusion medicine and military medical readiness sectors, serving as a niche supplier of FDA-regulated, GMP-compliant blood processing systems. Cerus Corporation is a small business based in Concord, California, with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic presence and operational focus are centered on supporting federal medical logistics and defense health programs through direct contract performance and technical support.
