Universal Detection Technology (OTC Bulletin Board: UDTT; FWB: PO8), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats, announced today that on May 19th, 2006 it has been featured in Voice of America News. The article and the accompanying video explain the technology behind company's BSM-2000 line of bio-terror detection systems. The video clip includes interviews with the inventor of the technology as well as UDTT's Director of R&D, Mr. Amir Ettehadieh.
"We hope that media coverage will bring more visibility for our valuable services and technologies," said Ettehadieh. "Our core mission is to contribute to nation's awareness and preparedness against bioterrorism. This is a very real threat and unfortunately little are we prepared to cope with a disaster. Being aware and ready to counter an attack with germs such as anthrax is the first step in containing the catastrophic consequences of such an attack," he added.
