ITEMS 1 THROUGH 7 OF SCHEDULE 13D
FOR
BIOANALYTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.

This Schedule 13D relates to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, $0.005 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of PharmaKinetics Laboratories, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer” or “PKLB”), by Bioanalytical Systems, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“BAS”).

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock of the Issuer. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 302 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by BAS, an Indiana corporation. The principal offices of BAS are located at 2701 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906-1382. BAS provides contract development services and research equipment to pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology companies. Certain information with respect to the Directors and Executive Officers of BAS is set forth on Schedule A and incorporated herein by reference.

Neither BAS nor any of the persons listed in Schedule A attached hereto has been convicted during the last five years in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Neither BAS nor any of the persons listed in Schedule A attached hereto has during the last five years been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding is or has been subject to any civil judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation in respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On November 14, 2002, the Issuer executed a Secured Convertible Revolving Note (the “Note”) in a principal amount of up to $925,000 to BAS to replace certain existing notes payable to BAS and to allow the Issuer to borrow additional amounts from BAS. As of November 30, 2002, BAS had advanced $758,632.74 to the Issuer pursuant to the Note. The Note carries an annual interest rate of 8% and is due May 1, 2003. The loans provided for by the Note are secured by a security interest in favor of BAS in all of the assets of the Issuer. The Note provides that upon receipt of the Issuer of a written waiver of certain rights in favor of the holder of the Issuer’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Class B Holder”), BAS may convert the Note into Common Stock of the Issuer at any time when any balance of principal or interest is outstanding under the Note at a price of $0.1585 per share of Common Stock. Such written waiver was received from the Class B Holder on November 27, 2002. Upon payment of the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest on May 1, 2003, BAS’s right to convert the Note into Common Stock of the Issuer will expire.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

On July 20, 2002, the Issuer, BAS and PI Acquisition Corp., a Maryland corporation (“MergerCo”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger (the “Merger”) of MergerCo with and into the Issuer on the terms and conditions stated therein. Such conditions include, among other things, the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Common Stock of PKLB.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, MergerCo will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAS. In connection with the Merger, the Common Stock held by BAS will be cancelled, with no consideration being exchanged for such Common Stock. Under the Merger Agreement, shareholders other than BAS are entitled to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of one BAS common share for each share of Common Stock held by such shareholder. The Boards of Directors of BAS, MergerCo and the Issuer have approved the Merger Agreement. BAS intends to convert all outstanding principal and interest on the Note into shares of Common Stock prior to the record date of the PKLB special meeting of shareholders being held to approve the Merger. BAS expects that the conversion of the Note will result in BAS owning a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number required to approve the proposed Merger on behalf of the holders of Common Stock of PKLB. BAS intends to vote its shares for the adoption of the Merger Agreement in order to ensure approval of the Merger.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference. BAS has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the proposed merger. The Form S-4 contains a preliminary prospectus of BAS relating to the shares to be issued in the Merger and a preliminary proxy statement of PKLB relating to the special meeting of shareholders of PKLB at which the merger will be considered and voted upon by its shareholders. Investors and security holders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission before making any investment decisions. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus (when it becomes available) and other documents filed by BAS and PKLB with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. The definitive proxy statement/final prospectus and other documents filed by PKLB with the Securities and Exchange Commission may also be obtained free of charge from PKLB by requesting a copy in writing from PharmaKinetics Laboratories, Inc., 302 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201, Attention: Chief Financial Officer or by telephone at (410) 385-4500.

Except as noted above, as of the date of this Schedule 13-D, BAS has no plans or proposals with relate to or would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d) Any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;

(g) corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a)	As of the date of this filing, BAS beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 5,835,962 or 70% of the Common Stock of the Issuer that would be outstanding upon conversion of the entire principal balance of the Note.

(b)	BAS may be deemed to have the sole power to vote, or to direct the vote of, an aggregate of 5,835,962 Common Stock of the Issuer. BAS may be deemed to have the sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 5,835,962 shares Common Stock of the Issuer.

(c)	To the knowledge of BAS, except as disclosed in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of the entities or persons named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D has effected any transaction in the Issuer’s securities in the past 60 days.

(d)

(e)	Not applicable.
