LOS ANGELES, CA, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
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, reported
today that it has received an additional contract to provide bioterrorism
training equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The equipment is
designed to mimic a real-time biological attack thus preparing first
responders in the proper use and handling of bioterrorism detection
equipment.

There have been recent reports of terrorist activity in China. The Chinese
Government has warned that terrorists pose the biggest risk to this
summer's Olympics Games in Beijing. Officials say they foiled two plots,
one to bring down an airliner, and another to disrupt the summer games.
The Chinese government has also stepped up efforts in bio-security to
ward off possible bioterrorism during the coming Olympics.

UDTT's simulation/trainer equipment and threat simulation powders are
designed to mimic a bio-threat event that illustrates all potential
outcomes of the 5-agent test device. UDTT had previously received 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 3 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,"
said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chief Executive Officer.
