This paper reviews recent advances in particle detection using superfluid 3He at ultra-low temperature about 100 {mu}K, for application in large detector project ULTIMA for the search of non-baryonic Dark Matter. The unique advantages of 3He, and in particular of its superfluid state, for Dark Matter search are highlighted.
