Universal Detection Technology’s kits, certified earlier this year by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as an “Approved Product for Homeland Security,” are the industry’s only hand-held assay designed to detect and identify up to five separate threats using one sample in a single, easy-to-use device.

The equipment’s capacities feature the following:
* No cross-reactivity with near neighbor strains * No cross-reactivity to household powders * No set up time * No expensive reader needed * No decontamination requirements * No false positives * No false negatives * No hook effect
