UNDT 2ND Q PR COMING!!!!! Should be good!!!!!!!!
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/10/11 -- Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (), a developer and supplier of early-warning monitoring technologies that protect against biological, chemical, and radiological threats, announced today that it has received purchase order and subsequently shipped radiation detection equipment to a major Japanese telecommunications company. Items range from personal dosimeters to survey meters and isotope identifiers. The majority of the products pursuant to this order have been shipped and the remainder is expected to be delivered before the end of the third quarter of 2011.
UNDT continues to get orders for dosimetry systems (used for measurement of cumulative radiation exposure), advanced survey meters, surface monitors (used in detection of contamination on surfaces and in particular in food and water), and isotope identifiers that not only detect but also identify the isotope that has been detected.
Recently, beef from cattle in Japan that ate straw tainted by radiation has found its way into the food supply, deepening concern about the safety of meat as Japan struggles to contain the spread of the contamination.
"Recent reports are beginning to show the widespread contamination caused by the Fukushima disaster," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO. "We will continue to supply our products through all available channels to the people of Japan in an effort to provide assistance in these difficult times. We also extend our offer of a discount on all our radiation detection equipment to first-time customers who donate any amount to the Red Cross relief efforts through our website."
UNDT's Radiation Detection Equipment Marketed in Japan and Singapore by APP Systems
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/14/11 -- Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies that protect against biological, chemical, and radiological threats, announced today that it has signed an agreement with APP System Services (APP). APP will market UNDT's radiation detection devices in Japan and Singapore.
APP is a premier sales and service provider for high technology products, in biotech, environmental and defense industries. APP serves both the private and government sectors.
The most recent assessment of the radiation level in Japan is that it is officially equal to Chernobyl. Officials with the company that operates Japan's tsunami-stricken nuclear plant say radioactive contamination in groundwater underneath a reactor has been measured at 10,000 times the government health standard. A spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co says the company doesn't believe any drinking water supply is affected. Contaminated water has been pooling at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex since it was damaged by the devastating earthquake and tsunami. It has already leaked into the ocean.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported today that low levels of radiation have turned up in milk samples from two West Coast states. The EPA and the Food and Drug Administration said that radiation was found in a March 25 milk sample from Spokane, Washington. The California Department of Public Health said on its website that a similar result was found March 28 at a dairy in San Luis Obispo County.
"Through our agreement with APP System Services we plan to make our radiation detection products available to a broad market in Japan and Singapore," said Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO. "APP will use its sales force to market UNDT's radiation detection devices to both the government and private sectors. While there has been a rush by consumers to quickly purchase hand-held dosimeters, most of which are currently in very short supply by us and other suppliers, there continues to be an interest from institutional customers for more sophisticated detection equipment which we hope to be able to provide not necessarily in the immediate present, but throughout the length of this crisis," he added
