LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - January 22, 2009) - Universal Detection Technology ([ www.udetection.com ]) (
The test plan, designed exclusively by CUBRC for the BSM-2000 system, calls for the system to be deployed at two locations at the University of Buffalo Campus. One system will be deployed at the central mail sorting facility at the University of Buffalo and the other will be the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) air intake for the Biomedical Research Building at the University. Testing is to be conducted for the duration of one month at which time CUBRC will report the results of the testing in a formal report. The test plan has also been submitted to the Department of Homeland Security as part of UNDT's SAFETY Act application.
CUBRC scientists and engineers perform laboratory research, development, and testing supporting a wide variety of customers within the chemical & biological defense, homeland security, and intelligence communities. In state-of-the-art, highly specialized, Government certified test facilities; CUBRC develops the next generation of biological agent detection and diagnostic systems, and medical therapeutics.
UNDT licensed the detection technology used in the BSM-2000 through a technology transfer program with NASA's JPL. The system is capable of detecting abnormal levels of bacterial spores in the air and the technology has been featured in several peer reviewed scientific journals and has been evaluated by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
"The testing at the University of Buffalo will give us the opportunity to test the BSM-2000 at a buildings two most vulnerable areas to a bioterror attack: the mail room and the HVAC system," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chief Executive Officer.
