UNDT Presentation: 12:00 p.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Washington, D.C.

Defense News: LOS ANGELES----Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB:UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies and counter-terrorism training programs to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats, announced today that it will present the company’s latest developments in bioweapons detection technology to a group of investors at the Homeland Security Finance Forum, held at FOSE 2010 Expo, on Tuesday, March 23^rd at 12:00 p.m.

UNDT is one of only six companies chosen from pre-established criteria to present to investors specifically looking to invest in the homeland security sector.

In addition to presenting to a group of over 40 investors, UNDT will be featured in the Homeland SecurityFinance Forum Guide, which will be distributed to over 2,500 professionals active in the sector.

The forum, hosted by GovSec in collaboration with pipeline VB/Research, will allow UNDT to address the critical need government agencies and other institutions have in meeting the growing threat of bioterrorism.

A report issued in January by the bipartisan Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism gave the government a “F” letter grade for failure to “enhance the nation’s capabilities for rapid response to prevent biological attacks from inflicting mass casualties.”

“Our presence at the Homeland Security Finance Forum will allow investors interested in making the most relevant, forward-thinking strategic investment opportunities in homeland security to witness the full range of our capabilities,” said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology. “Bio-weapon detection is becoming a top priority for all public entities, and bio-weapon monitoring tools are immediately available to address this growing concern,” said Tizabi.

Universal Detection Technology’s bioweapons detection kits, certified last year by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as an “Approved Product for Homeland Security,” are designed to detect and identify up to five separate threats using one sample in a single, easy-to-use device. The kits equip first responders with an effective tool for the rapid onsite detection of up to five biological warfare agents: anthrax, ricin, botulinum toxin, Y. pestis (plague) and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB). Detection time is under three minutes.

UNDT’s Agreement with Will Supply Country with Equipment for Combating the Growing Threat of Bioterrorism
Defense News ~ LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB:UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies and counter-terrorism training programs to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats, announced today that through its agreement with U.S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service, the company is promoting its handheld assays, used for detection of up to five bioterrorism agents, in Australia. UNDT is to be listed as a Featured U.S. Exporter on Commercial Service's Australia website.
UNDT's 5-agent bioterrorism detection kits have been used extensively by first responders and private industry throughout the United States. Testing of the kits by the U.S. DoD as well as the United Kingdom military show that the kits demonstrate no cross-reactivity with near neighbor species and no false positives with commonly encountered "white powders". The kits are designed to test for anthrax, botulinum toxin, ricin, plague (Y. Pestis) and SEBs in as little as three minutes.
“Through our relationship with the U.S. Department of Commerce, we are working to expand our bio-weapons detection equipment offerings in countries that have been targeted by terrorists,” said Universal Detection Technology CEO Jacques Tizabi. “We will continue to expand our international network through our relationship with the Department of Commerce,” continued Tizabi.

Universal Detection Technology Files White Paper for Bioterrorism Detection Research Funding From the Department of Homeland Security

UNDT Plans to Adapt Technology Licensed From NASA's JPL for Non-Immunological Method of Identifying Bacterial Biothreat Agents

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - 12/11/09) - Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTC.BB:UNDT - News), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, reported today that it has responded to the Department of Homeland Security's request for a research proposal aimed at detecting and containing harmful bioagents, such as anthrax used as bioterrorism weapons.

The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) from the Department of Homeland Security is seeking research and development proposals in multiple Technical Focus Areas (TFAs) of bacterial biothreat antigen detection and identification. Universal Detection Technlogy will seek funding to adapt technology licensed from NASA's JPL for Non-immunological Method of Identifying Bacterial Biothreat Agents.
The threat of terrorist or criminal use of pathogenic organisms and their toxins remains of great concern in the United States. In order to address capability gaps in this area and support the Surveillance and Detection Pillar of the National Biomonitoring Architecture (NBMA), the development of rapid and specific detection methods are needed to provide reliable analysis on a variety of bacterial biothreat agents. As part of the effort to deter biological terrorism and strengthen the capabilities of the biodefense and public health laboratory response, it is important to explore both classic and alternative methods and approaches to address the critical need to rapidly detect bacterial biothreat agent antigens and toxins of interest.
Specifically, for the purposes of recovering, extracting, and preserving the antigenic signature of the agents from their associated samples; and detecting and identifying the presence of bacterial biothreat agents present in these samples using non-immunological methods of detection to analyze samples for bacterial biothreat agent antigenic material.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) states that DHS S&T will "support basic and applied homeland security research to promote revolutionary changes in technologies; advance the development, testing and evaluation, and deployment of critical homeland security technologies; and accelerate the prototyping and deployment of technologies that would address homeland security vulnerabilities." Pursuant to this mission, the Chemical Biological Division (CBD) seeks technologies to prevent, detect, and defend against a biological attack. The focus of this BAA is in the area of bacterial biothreat agent detection, surveillance and identification research.
The BAA calls for proposals on research aimed at recovering, extracting, and preserving the antigenic signature of the bioagents from their associated samples; and detecting and identifying the presence of bacterial biothreat agents present in these samples using non-immunological methods of detection to analyze samples for bacterial biothreat agent antigenic material.
UNDT's technology uses a molecule unique to bacterial spores, Dipicolinic acid (DPA) which is combined with terbium ions. Exciting the combined terbium ion and DPA generates a luminescence characteristic. This is achieved by radiating the complex with ultraviolet light. This method will allow for the detection of bacterial spores using a non-immunological method.
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism, headed up by former senators Bob Graham and Jim Talent ominously warned that, "A recent study from the intelligence community projected that a one-to-two kilogram release of anthrax spores from a crop duster plane could kill more Americans than died in World War II (over 400,000)." As a follow-up to this sobering news, they reported: "Clean-up and other economic costs could exceed $1.8 trillion."
"The report by former senators Graham and Talent demonstrates the alarming prospect of a biological weapon attack to the nation," said Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's CEO. "We plan to work with the DHS and other government agencies in providing the best products and technologies to combat this threat," he added.
