Universal Detection Technology (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 the company has entered an agreement with U.S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service to become a Featured U.S. Exporter (FUSE) of bioterrorism monitoring equipment in France.

Universal Detection Technology's handheld assays, currently used by the U.S. Department of Defense, government agencies and commercial business for the detection of up to five bioterrorism agents, will be listed as a Featured U.S. Exporter on Commercial Service's French website.

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 three minutes.

Universal Detection Technology is exhibiting its bio-terror detection equipment at the upcoming 2009 Milipol Conference in Paris, France, November 17-20.
