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 and
provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services,
announced today that it has entered into a distribution agreement
with Brazil-based ORMAX Tecnologia em Seguranca. ORMAX will
distribute UNDT's biological, chemical, and radiation detection
equipment in Brazil, site of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer
Olympics.
Sao Paulo based ORMAX Tecnologia em Seguranca
(www.ormax.com.br), founded by experts in the security field,
specializes in all aspects of the safety and security business,
residential, perimeter, personnel, intelligence and
counterintelligence with products suited for the Brazilian
market.
Recent U.S. government reports state that Brazil is vulnerable
to a terrorist attack and Al-Qaeda is known to have operatives in
Brazil. Brazil was also the victim of an attempted anthrax attack
in 2003. Brazil will host the 2014 soccer World Cup and 2016 Summer
Olympics and authorities are increasingly concerned about a
potential terrorist attack.
UNDT's biodetection equipment has been extensively used by first
responders and private industry throughout the country and
internationally. The equipment has been evaluated by the U.S. DOD
as well as the United Kingdom military. The equipment's capacities
include:
- No cross-reactivity with near neighbor strains
- No cross-reactivity to household powders
- No set up time
- No expensive reader needed
- No decontamination requirements
- No false positives
- No false negatives
- No hook effect
"Through our partnership with ORMAX we can make our products
available to one of the world's fastest growing economies," said
Jacques Tizabi, Universal Detection Technology CEO. "This follows
our strategy of partnering with companies with established
operations in the security and first response sectors in their
territory," continued Tizabi.
