Rockville, MD and Los Angeles, CA - Two bio-monitoring technology producers have come together to address the market need for biothreat detectors for clients dependent on accurate, rapid environmental assessments. Innovative Biosensors, Inc. (IBI) of Rockville, MD, a company developing rapid, ultra-sensitive tests toentify harmful pathogens and Universal Detection Technology, (UDT) a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies announced they will team to market and distribute their respective and complimentary products to protect people from bioterrorism threats in indoor and outdoor environments. Under the agreement, both IBI and UDT will market and distribute their partner's biodetection equipment, in addition to their own products, broadening their respective abilities to develop complete solutions for building and other security applications across government, military and commercial markets. IBI's proprietary BioFlash biologicalentifier is rugged, portable, and incorporates a high-volume aerosol sampler.  This integrated technology provides rapid, specific and sensitiveentification of up to 21 biological threat agents in single test or multi-test formats in less than five minutes. "IBI's BioFlash is the first, fully integrated system which combines collection and real-timeentification functions, to provide rapid and cost-effective detection andentification of biological threat agents" said Rick Thomas, Vice President of Business Development for IBI.  "IBI's strategic goal is to continue to evolve through the expansion of our current BioFlash technology system along with partners such as UDT, to provide total issue encompassing solutions for both military and civilian biothreat protection." UDT's BSM-2000 is an autonomous air monitoring system capable of detecting abnormal levels of airborne bacterial spores such as anthrax. The BSM-2000 technology has been developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and has been used in NASA's Planetary Protection Program before being modified by UDT for use in bioterrorism detection. The BSM-2000 combines a bioaerosol capture device with a simple and robust chemical test for bacterial spores that is completely automated. "We are very excited to join forces with IBI and we look forward to actively co-market our technologies to users in the United States and around the world," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDT's Chief Executive Officer.
