5:00a ET October 7, 2009 (Market Wire)
Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), 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 will become a featured exporter of biological weapon detection equipment in South Korea. The U.S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service will assist UNDT in the listing. According to a South Korean defense ministry report issued yesterday, the North Korean regime is capable of unleashing 13 types of lethal biological agents.

In one of the most detailed assessments of the dictatorship's biological weapons arsenal, the report said that North Korea has the ability to launch as many as 13 kinds of viral and bacterial attacks. In a submission to the South Korean National Assembly, the defense minister also said that the North has 5,000 tons of chemical weapons, believed to include mustard gas, phosgene and sarin. Among its biological agents are anthrax, cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, typhus, typhoid fever and dysentery.

Universal Detection Technology's 5-agent Bioterrorism detection kits, the premier product available under the agreement, 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 SEBs in as little as three minutes.
