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.
