Universal Detection Technology
(www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning
monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and
other infectious health threats, announced today that it has
entered into a joint relationship with Powdersafe Pty Ltd., whereby
a new breakthrough product has emerged from combination of the two
companies' products. The new system will allow facilities such as
mailrooms to test suspicious powders, such as suspected anthrax
letters, without exposure to harmful substances.
The combination of UNDT's test kits and the Powdersafe
Containment system provides a maximum protective field environment
in which to conduct real time testing for biological and toxic
substances.
The system increases user safety and protects vital forensic
evidence. Should further analysis be required after a positive test
the Powdersafe Containment system can then be conveyed to the
nearest laboratory complete with the UDT test kit.
Universal Detection Technology's biological weapon detection
equipment is used extensively by first responders and private
industry throughout the country. The equipment, including UNDT's 5
agent biodetection kit, are certified by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security and have been evaluated by the U.S. DoD as well
as the United Kingdom military. The UNDT kits are able to detect
for the presence of anthrax, ricin, botulinum, Y.Pestis (Plague),
and SEB's in as little as 3 minutes.
The Powdersafe Containment system is an Australian Government
endorsed security product and is now in use with organizations
around the world. The Powdersafe Containment system has been tested
by a certified National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)
laboratory to meet the most stringent standards. The Powdersafe
system is in operation in mail handling environments and with First
Responder Teams. Further information can be found at

"The partnership with Powdersafe allows us to provide our
clients with a containment system where suspicious powders can be
examined without exposing the user to any harmful bio-agents or
toxins," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection
Technology. "This continues our strategy of partnering with
innovative companies in the CBRN detection and protection
industries," continued Tizabi.
