LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 through its agreement with U.S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service, it is promoting Company's handheld assays, used for detection of up to five bioterrorism agents. UNDT is to be listed as a Featured U.S. Exporter on Commercial Service's South Africa website. South Africa is the host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

UNDT's 5-agent Bioterrorism detection kits have been extensively used by first responders and private industry throughout the United States. Testing of the kits by the U.S. DOD as well as the United Kingdom military show that the kits demonstrate no cross-reactivity with near neighbor species and no false positives with commonly encountered "white powders". The kits are designed to test for anthrax, botulinum toxin, Ricin, plague (Y. Pestis) and SEB's in as little as 3 minutes.

"The listing with the department of commerce gives us the opportunity to market our anti-terrorism products in South Africa, site of next summer's soccer world cup," said Universal Detection Technology CEO Jacques Tizabi. "We successfully marketed our bio-terror and radiation detection systems to the 2008 Beijing Olympics."
