Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

     This Statement on Schedule 13D (as amended  herein,  the "Schedule 13D") is
being filed by Barringer Technologies Inc. (formerly Barringer Resources Inc.) a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and relates to the Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Barringer Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware
corporation  ("Labco"),  and is being  filed  pursuant  to Rule 13d-1  under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). The principal executive
offices of Labco are located at 15000 West 6th  Avenue,  Suite 300,  Golden,  CO
80401.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item  5 of the  Schedule  13D is  hereby  amended  by  adding  thereto  the
following:

     Pursuant  to the terms of the  Termination  Agreement  (detailed  in Item 6
below) the Company disposed of the following shares of Labco Common Stock:

          Date            Number of Shares                      Price Per Shares
        11/4/96               80,000                               $1.6875

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
          with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

     On  October 7, 1996,  the  Company  and Labco  entered  into a  Termination
Agreement (the "Termination Agreement"), pursuant to which Labco agreed to waive
its right of first refusal and to terminate certain  restrictions  regarding the
transfer of the shares of Labco Common  Stock owned by the Company.  The Company
agreed  that,  for a period  of three  months  from the date of the  Termination
Agreement,  it would sell such  shares at a price of at least  $1.6875 per share
(the "Target Price") in a distribution in which it would not knowingly sell more
than 75,000  shares to any one purchaser or group of related  purchasers.  Under
the Termination  Agreement,  for such three-month  period, the Company must sell
its Labco  shares as provided  above,  if it  receives an offer to acquire  such
shares at a price per share at least equal to the Target Price. The restrictions
also apply to any shares of Labco Common Stock  issuable to the Company upon the
exercise of certain  warrants  held by the  Company.  Labco has  registered  the
Company's shares of Labco Common Stock for resale pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, to facilitate such sales.

     Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company surrendered to Labco the
88,260 shares of Common Stock  retained by Labco  pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement,  dated December 8, 1995,  between the Company and Labco.  The Company
and Labco also agreed to terminate all remaining inter-company arrangements.  In
addition,  upon the disposition by the Company of at least 250,000 of its shares
of Labco  Common  Stock,  Stanley S. Binder and John J. Harte will resign  their
positions with Labco.
