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 showcase the latest developments in bio-weapons detection technology,
including the TS-10-5-agent biodetection kit, at Milipol Paris 2009.

“Our weight loss programs presence at Milipol comes at a time when international security
experts are admonishing government agencies to be prepared for the real
threat of a bioterrorism attack,” said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal
Detection Technology. “Bio-weapon detection should be a top priority for
all public entities, because for terrorists, they can be purchased or
engineered at relatively low costs, can induce mass casualties and are
oftentimes undetected by on-the-ground law enforcement,” continued Tizabi.

The Commission on Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation
and Terrorism, assembled by the United States Congress post 9/11, issued an
interim report last week that called bioterrorism the “most urgent threat”
facing the United States. The report said that national security for
anti-bioterrorism programs and “appropriate disease surveillance” were
severely underfunded and neglected.

“There are bio-weapon monitoring tools immediately available for public and
private entities, easy to implement and cost effective,” said Tizabi.
“Universal Detection Technology’s biodetection kits are the first step in
meeting the needs of bioterrorism prevention and planning,” continued
Tizabi.

Universal Detection Technology’s kits, certified earlier this year by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security as an “Approved Product for Homeland
Security,” are the industry’s only hand-held assay 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.

Universal Detection Technology will showcase its TS-10-5-agent biodetection
kit with live and taped demonstrations at booth #11K059 at Milipol Paris
2009, held November 17 – 21, 2009. Members of UNDT’s executive team,
including R&D; and business development, will be present to answer questions
about the products and the company.

Prior to Milipol Paris 2009, Universal Detection Technology will be
presenting its biodetection kits to the 2012 London Olympics organizers at
the 2009 Terrorism & Security Conference, to be held in London November
17th and 18th.

UNDT has also recently signed agreements with the U.S. Department of
Commerce to be the featured exporter of bioterrorism detection equipment in
France and South Korea.
