Universal Detection Technology Enters Distribution Agreement With Mirion Technologies Dosimetry Services Division
LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB:UDTT) (Frankfurt:PO8), 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 Mirion Technologies Dosimetry Services Division to distribute the RADView(tm) PD Dosimeter badge.

The RADView PD dosimeter badge from Mirion Technologies is a lightweight, credit card size radiation dosimeter incorporating a self-developing radiochromic film to provide visual measurement of absorbed radiation dose. The film develops a distinctive and characteristic color upon exposure to ionizing radiation, becoming progressively darker in proportion to absorbed dose. RADView PD dosimeters are unaffected by brief exposures to sunlight or normal room light. The films are water-resistant, tissue equivalent, energy independent and dose-rate independent. The badges do not require calibration, maintenance, or any electronics or batteries. Under most conditions, the dosimeter can be worn for one year before replacement. A quick visual observation of a RADView PD dosimeter allows anyone to assess the absorbed dose.

"This distribution deal expands the range of products we offer to the First Responder Community. The RADView dosimeter is a reliable and tested product that can be used by police, firefighters, emergency medical staff, assessment personnel, remediation crews or any practice with potential duties at an emergency site," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology.

Mirion Technologies is one of the world leaders in radiation detection, measuring and monitoring. With over 740 employees worldwide, Mirion has 14 production facilities in Europe, Asia, and North America. The Dosimetry Services Division provides dosimetry, consulting, and system integration services to the nuclear, government, and medical markets. The division is headquartered in Irvine, California, and sells under the Global Dosimetry Solutions brand. For more information please visit: www.mirion.com
