Universal Detection Technology Announces Financial Results and 5,000 Percent
Revenue Increase Due to Increasing Sales of Biological and Other CBRN Detection
Products

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, announced more than 5,000%
increase in revenues for the 3 months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same
period a year ago. The full financial results are available in the Company's
publicly available quarterly report.

The Company reported that during the first three months of 2008, revenues from
sales of products and services reached $60,000.

The Company had significant sales of its biological detection kits to both
domestic and international clients. One of the major orders for the Company's
handheld assays was from the Washington D.C. Fire and Emergency Services. The
Company also had increased the sale of its radiological and nuclear detection
devices to both domestic and international customers.

Additionally, the company has recognized revenues from sales of its line of
anti-microbial products in particular products designed to sterilize surfaces
from the deadly MRSA bacteria. The sales have come on the heels of increased
reports of the spread of MRSA beyond hospitals to schools and assisted care
facilities.

"The first quarter of 2008 was a period when we started recognizing revenues
from sales of our diverse range of products and services. We not only generated
significant interest in our handheld assays used for rapid detection of multiple
bioterrorism agents but also added new lines of products in areas that we saw
high demand. Such products include our radiation detection systems and anti
microbial products capable of killing deadly antibiotic resistant bacteria,"
said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chief Executive Officer. "We hope that the
momentum that we have built will carry into the future and that our sales will
grow as we continue to market our products and our solutions," he added.

UDTT is a supplier of services and technologies used for early detection of
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats. The Company's
BSM-2000 combines a bioaerosol capture device with a simple and robust chemical
test for bacterial spores that is completely automated. The Company proposes the
use of BSM-2000 as a front-end monitor to the Biohazard Detection System (BDS)
or any other Secondary monitor with the promise of drastically reducing the
recurring operating costs for anthrax screening at postal facilities and any
other facility where bio-terrorism is of concern.
