LOS ANGELES, Calif., 25 July 2008. Universal Detection Technology, 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, won an additional contract to provide bioterrorism training equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The equipment mimics a real-time biological attack, preparing first responders in the use and handling of bioterrorism detection equipment.
The Chinese Government, having warned that terrorists pose the biggest risk to this summer's Olympics Games in Beijing, has increased its efforts in bio-security to ward off possible bioterrorism during the Olympics.
UDTT previously won 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 three 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," says Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's CEO.
