"The listing on the RKB website will allow first responders throughout the country to access and review information on the BSM-2000 as it relates to the detection of bacterial spores such as anthrax. We are pleased to continue our work with the Nation's first responders," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chief Executive Officer. "We plan to continue to list all our products on the site giving first responders access to our whole spectrum of CBRN detection products," he added.
