Universal Detection Technology to Present Hand-Held Bioterrorism Detection for 2012 London Olympics at the Terrorism & Security 2009 Conference, Endorsed by ACPO TAM and NYPD Intelligence Division
LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - 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 it will
present its rapid response biodetection kits to the 2012 London Olympics
organizers at the 2009 Terrorism & Security Conference, held in London
November 17th and 18th.
"The security risks associated with high-profile international events,
such as the 2012 London Olympics, cannot be underestimated," said
Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology. "Bio-weapons
should be a particular concern to organizers, because for terrorists,
they can be purchased or engineered at relatively low costs, can induce
mass casualties and are oftentimes undetected by on-the-ground law
enforcement; Universal Detection Technology is prepared to meet the
bioterrorism detection needs of the 2012 London Olympics and similar
global venues," continued Tizabi.
UNDT was invited by the conference to present to the 2012 London
Olympics organizers and security directors of international "high-value,
soft-targets," including airports, sports stadiums, national
infrastructure, shopping centers, prestigious hotels and mass transport
hubs to and from the United Kingdom and Europe.
Following the 2009 Terrorism & Security Conference in London, Universal
Detection Technology will also be presenting its bio-terrorism detection
equipment at the upcoming 2009
Milipol Conference in Paris, November 17-20.
Universal Detection Technology's 5-agent biodetection kits, recently
certified by United States Department of Homeland Security as an
"Approved Product for Homeland Security" under the Support
Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY)
Act of 2002, are the industry's only hand-held assay designed to detect
and identify up to five separate threats using one sample in a single,
easy-to-use device. The kits equip first responders with an effective
tool for the rapid onsite detection of up to five biological warfare
agents: anthrax, ricin, botulinum toxin, Y. pestis (plague) and
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB). Detection time is under three
minutes.
