LOS ANGELES, CA–(EMWNews – July 23, 2008) – 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, reported today that it has received an

additional contract to provide bioterrorism training equipment for the 2008

Beijing Olympics. The equipment is designed to mimic a real-time biological

attack thus preparing first responders in the proper use and handling of

bioterrorism detection equipment.

There have been recent reports of terrorist activity in China. The Chinese

Government has warned that terrorists pose the biggest risk to this

summer’s Olympics Games in Beijing. Officials say they foiled two plots,

one to bring down an airliner, and another to disrupt the summer games. The

Chinese government has also stepped up efforts in bio-security to ward off

possible bioterrorism during the coming Olympics.

UDTT’s simulation/trainer equipment and threat simulation powders are

designed to mimic a bio-threat event that illustrates all potential

outcomes of the 5-agent test device. UDTT had previously received a

contract to supply 5-agent test equipment for the Beijing Olympics. The

5-agent testing kit is designed to test for Anthrax, Ricin, Botulinum

Toxin, Plague and SEB’s in as little as 3 minutes.

“The contract for the bioterrorism training equipment completes the series

of contracts we received providing anti-terror equipment for the Beijing

Olympics that included radiological and bio-weapon detection equipment,”

said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT’s Chief Executive Officer.
