The MEM can be designed to monitor the air for airborne bacteria including the deadly MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). The technology is under exclusive license to from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Office of Technology Transfer and is protected under a provisional patent.

has expanded the range of products it offers to include germicides that eliminate MRSA. The number of MRSA cases havebeen on the rise throughout in recent years. According to a recent paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the MRSA microbe, a strain of a once harmless staph bacterium that has become invulnerable to first- line antibiotics, is responsible for more than 94,000 serious infections and nearly 19,000 deaths each year. Recent reports also indicate the spread of MRSA into the nation's schools including a recent fatal case in a Virginia high school.

UDTT has supplied its anti-MRSA germicide to national franchises such as select Quiznos restaurants. The EPA approved germicide eliminates MRSA on contact and keeps the are sterile for a period of 1 week following application.

UDT s 5-agent Detection kits are used by first responders throughout the country. The kits are designed to test for anthrax, Botulinum Ricin, Plague, and SEB s in one rapid and accurate test. The Washington D.C. Fire Department & emergency Services & the Burbank Fire Department are among first responders that use the 5-agent kits.

Universal Detection Technology Is Partners with NASA- owns the license to a patented technology developed at NASA's JPL and utilized in 's BSM-2000 used for autonomous monitoring of the air for presence of airborne bacterial spores such as anthrax. also supplies detection kits for detection of up to 5 bioterrorism agents.

Government Contracts Continue To Roll In- has already provided its anthrax detection kits to the U.S. Army and sold bacterial spore detection systems to the Government of the United Kingdom.

Remarkable Partnerships with Prominent Organizations-On Feb. 1 2008, announced that its BSM-2000 Anthrax Detection System was posted on the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) website. This website, sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, is the premier source for information on products, standards, certifications, grants and other equipment-related information needed by First Responders (agencies charged with dealing with terrorism events, including biological and nuclear incidents). The World Wide Market Potential For s Anthrax Detection Technology is Enormous!

Breaking Into The China Market- also signed an agreement with Kadinuo Science and Technology Company in Beijing on Jan. 30 to market and distribute s products in China. Kadinuo, a leader in the radiation-detection field in China, also creates various decontamination and biohazard technologies for the Chinese State Environmental Protection Administration, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administration of Quality Supervision, the Inspection and Quarantine Division, and the Public Security Bureau.

Presidents Request - Breaking Industry Information issued by U.S. Department of Homeland Security!!!
 Earlier this month, Assistant Secretary and Chief Medical Officer Jeffery Runge, M.D. gave his testimony before the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Homeland Security.  The testimony outlined several points, mainly the 2009 budget request for the Office of Health Affairs (OHA) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The following are examples of key gaps now being addressed by OHA:

  • Biodefense: There was no principal agent for all the Department s biodefense activities, including its obligations under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-9 (Food and Agro-Defense) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-10 (Biodefense);
  • Contingency Planning: The Department had no single point of responsibility for subject matter expert-driven end-to-end contingency planning for bioterrorism and other catastrophic scenarios involving threats to the health of the population, from threat awareness through surveillance and detection, prevention and protection, response, and physical, psychological, and environmental recovery;
  • Occupational Health and Safety: The Department had no consistent policies, metrics or standards for occupational health issues and operational medical support for its diverse workforce.

The President is requesting $161.3 for FY 2009 to further objectives of the OHA mission.  This amount represents an increase of $44.8 over the FY 2008 enacted level.  OHA s strategic objectives for FY 2009 include:

  • discharging the Department s responsibilities for biodefense;
  • deploying automated detection equipment for early warning of a release of an aerosolized biological agent pending successful completion of testing and evaluation in FY 2008;
  • enhancing the security of the Nation s food and agriculture supply;
  • initiating activities to increase coordination of medical readiness across Federal, State, Tribal and local governments and the private sector;
  • working across DHS to protect the health and safety of the Department s workforce; and
  • providing medical oversight for the Department s medical activities.

The following is one of many programs which highlight how OHA will utilize its funding to meet these strategic challenges:
BioWatch- BioWatch provides a capability for early detection and warning against biological attacks in over 30 of our Nation s highest-risk urban areas through placement of a series of biological pathogen detectors.  Deployment of such technology is critical to our Nation s security as the detection of a biological pathogen, such as aerosolized anthrax, at the earliest stages of release is critical to successful treatment of the affected population.  Early detection and warning of a biological attack is essential for the rapid identification of the bioagent, which allows prophylactic treatment and prevention of casualties, provides forensic evidence to law enforcement on the source and nature of the attack, and demonstrates a spatial distribution of contamination and population exposure.  To date, this vital program has conducted over 3 million air samples without a false alarm, and has formed vital partnerships with state and local public health, laboratory, law enforcement, and environmental health entities to further its detection mission.  These partnerships have had collateral beneficial effects for our Nation s biodefense through cooperation across sectors at the local level.

Early detection is critical to protecting the health of the Nation.  With anthrax for example, a one day delay in the post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment of exposed individuals could result in many thousands of unnecessary deaths.  Early detection and rapid medical treatment is therefore essential to protecting the health of the American people during such an incident of  bioterrorism.
