QualityStocks
would like to highlight Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT), a
developer of monitoring technologies, including chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear (DBRN), and mold detection devices. The company, on its
own and with development partners, is positioned to capitalize on opportunities
related to Homeland Security. The company is a reseller of handheld assays used
for detection of five bioterrorism agents, radiation detection systems, and
chemical agent detectors.
In the
company’s news yesterday,
The device
will measure elevated levels of gamma radiation and transmit that data to a
Bluetooth-ready smartphone. The dedicated smartphone app in development by the
Company will give the user the ability to use simple menu-driven features to
test for radiation in food, surfaces or clothing and subsequently share the
accumulated data with other users through a mapping and social networking
features.
The
instrument in development will utilize a Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator for
the detection of Gamma rays. With the detection range of 0.001 to 9.999 µSv/h
the device will be capable of detecting traces of radiation on surfaces,
clothing and in particular food contamination.
Nuclear
experts have concerns regarding contamination of farmland close to the
Fukushima Daaichi. Japan produces a total of 8.5 million tons of rice with
Fukushima and neighboring Ibaraki, Miyagi and Iwate prefectures amounting to
1.56 million metric tons per year. Rice from more than 400 locations in
Fukushima Prefecture has been tested, and levels of radioactive cesium were
detected. Some experts have criticized the Japanese government for not doing
enough to keep dangerous radioactive substances out of the food supply,
threatening the health especially of children and pregnant women, who are
thought to be more sensitive to radiation.
"We are very pleased with the level of progress on the development of the detector," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's President and CEO. "Both the detector and app are being developed with the end user in mind as we are creating a device that will be unique in the radiation detection industry," he added.
