News: - Universal Detection Technology Announces Record Revenues for Third Quarter of 2011

Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), a reseller of early-warning monitoring technologies that protect against biological, chemical, and radiological threats, announced today that its revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were the highest quarterly revenues in more than three years. The increase is primarily due to high demand for radiation detection equipment both domestically and internationally. The Company is also beginning to see increased sales from its newly remodeled online store, which can be viewed at http://shop.udetection.com/en/1-home.
The Company's third quarter revenues increased 6,000% to $113,519 from $1,821 during third quarter 2010. The unfortunate nuclear disaster in Japan created a large market for equipment used for detection of harmful radiation in the ambient environment and on surfaces. Currently, the demand far outweighs the supply but in the long term it is anticipated that increased production capacity will eventually reduce the gap and bring the market to equilibrium. It is our belief, however, that this new equilibrium will be at much higher quantities than in pre-disaster times. This is due to increased global awareness of the hazards of radiation and the long term effects of the disaster in Japan, in particular the effects on food safety, which will require decades to completely clear up.
"We are seeing substantial revenue growth largely due to the demand for Radiation Detection in Japan. We look forward to continuing our efforts in Japan and worldwide. Management recently returned from Tokyo where we had the opportunity to meet with customers and prospects, along with medical professionals and ordinary citizens and discuss long term planning for radiation detection. As a result, as previously announced, we are now developing a new radiation detector which will communicate results via Bluetooth to a smartphone. We are anticipating launching the new device in the second quarter of 2012," said Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO.

Universal Detection Technology
Universal Detection Technology (UNDT) is a global leader in the dynamic intersection between bio life sciences and security. UNDT supplies government agencies, defense sector and commercial companies with the early-warning monitoring technologies and counter-terrorism training programs that protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats.
Threat of Bioterrorism
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 redefined a new age of public safety and security, not only for the United States, but also for the entire world.
In the wake of the tragedy, the world was shocked to learn that another nontraditional, deadly asymmetric weapon was being deployed: lethal biological weapons. A week after 9/11, envelopes containing anthrax spores, were delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to five news media outlets, followed by an October 9th delivery of anthrax-laden letters to two U.S. Senate offices.
By November 2001, 22 people in four states and the District of Columbia contracted anthrax, many of them through the tainting of letters via the postal sorting machines. In all, the bioterrorism attack claimed six lives.
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, led by an independent U.S. congressional committee, asserts that a large scale biological attack, expected to hit somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.
Along with the grave predictions in the December 2008 report, World at Risk, the Commission listed recommendations on how the government can reduce the risk of a biological attack. In January 2010, the commission issued a report card following up on those recommendations. For its efforts to “enhance the nation’s capabilities for rapid response to prevent biological attacks from inflicting mass casualties,” the government received an “F” letter grade.
Because bioweapons can be purchased or engineered at relatively low costs, can induce mass casualties and are oftentimes undetected by on-the-ground law enforcement, bioterrorism should be a chief concern in the international efforts to combat terrorists.
Bioterrorism can occur anywhere in the world, at any time. Lethal bioagents can be used as WMDs against military or civilians, via commercial shipping to a mass population or by aerosol in a public place, to name a few. The result could have catastrophic consequences, with an international pandemic and mass casualties.
Bioweapons prevention and training, along with rapid detection and on-site diagnosis, is the first chain in the link for an effective response to a bioterrorist threat.
