LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 16, 2007 -- Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTC BB:UDTT.OB - News), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and a provider of counter terrorism training and solutions today addressed the recent announcement by the United Kingdom Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) on the creation of a national coordinator for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) Response. The CBRN response co-coordinator will be responsible for over 50 agencies in the U.K. that will potentially have a role in the case of a CBRN attack.


"One major area of responsibility for the new CBRN coordinator will be protection for the House of Parliament in London, and the two BSM-2000 units sold by us were designated to protect the House of Parliament," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology. "We hope that the new CBRN coordinator will recognize the immense potential of our technology in protecting key facilities," he added.

BSM-2000 is UDTT's line of real-time bacterial spore detectors co-developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The device is used to monitor the air continuously and to sound an alarm if elevated levels of spores such as anthrax are detected. UDTT holds an international exclusive license to the detection technology deployed in BSM-2000. The Company recently sold two units of BSM-2000 to the government of the UK.

Universal Detection Technology has co-developed a real-time Anthrax detection system, called BSM-2000, with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The technology was recently featured on NBC News. To view the video clip, please go to: http://www.udetection.com/pressroom-video-NBC1006.htm.
