Tue, July 21, 2009 Universal Detection Technoloy: Universal Detection Technology Bio-Detection Kits Gain Momentum in Commercial Sector
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - July 21, 2009) - Universal Detection Technology ([ www.udetection.com ]) ( According to Universal Detection Technology's CEO, Jacques Tizabi, the purchase order is very significant for the Company, as it shows new commercial and civilian applications for its products. Increasingly, larger companies are handling some aspects of CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear explosives) prevention in-house, thus mitigating costly delays when first responders have to be called. "With our recent [ DHS certification ], we believe private and public company orders from outside the traditional homeland security market will continue to increase," said Tizabi. "The kits are portable, easy-to-use and cost effective solutions for companies addressing the real risks of bioterrorism," continued Tizabi. Traditionally, Universal Detection Technology's bioterrorism kits have been employed solely for homeland security and governmental agency use, such as the U.S. Department of Defense and fire and EMS services for Washington, D.C. Universal Detection Technology's five-agent bio-detection kit is the most rapid and accurate test of its kind in the market. In as little as three minutes, a single test can detect up to five lethal agents: anthrax, ricin, botulinum toxin, plague and SEBs. Universal Detection Technology's counter terrorism and security solutions, including the company's flagship real-time anthrax detector ([ BSM-2000 ]), have applications for government agencies, defense contractors, security companies, postal facilities, etc. About Universal Detection Technology Universal Detection Technology is a developer of monitoring technologies, including bioterrorism detection devices. The Company on its own and with development partners is positioned to capitalize on opportunities related to Homeland Security. For example, the Company, in cooperation with NASA, has developed a bacterial spore detector that detects certain biohazard substances. The Company is also a reseller of handheld assays used for detection of five bioterrorism agents, radiation detection systems, and antimicrobial products.
