If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify
the Item(s) to which the notification relates:


PART I - REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Cellex Biosciences, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------
Full Name of Registrant


---------------------------------------------------------
Former Name if Applicable

8500 Evergreen Boulevard
---------------------------------------------------------
Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

Coon Rapids, Minnesota  55433
---------------------------------------------------------
City, State and Zip Code

PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

/x/  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
         could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

/x/  (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
         Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be
         filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed
         due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form
         10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar
         day following the prescribed due date; and

/ /  (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)
         has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR,
or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.

      In May 2000, the Registrant acquired a portion of the business of Unisyn
Technologies, Inc. Accordingly, the Registrant's management has focused its
energy on the integration of the Registrant's business with the Unisyn business.
The Registrant has been delayed in integrating the Unisyn business because the
former management and accounting staff of Unisyn resigned and, thus, the present
management team has had difficulty compiling financial information regarding the
results of operations of Unisyn. Therefore, the Registrant is unable to timely
file its Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
    notification

      Thomas F. Belleau                        (201)          816-8900
    --------------------------------------  -----------  ------------------
                    (Name)                  (Area Code)  (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
    of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
    registrant was required to file such reports) been filed? If answer is no,
    identify report(s).                                 / / Yes  /x/ No

        On August 14, 2000 the Registrant filed a current report on Form 8-K/A,
    however, the Registrant was unable to include certain financial information
    required by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of
    1934.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
    the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
    earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
                                                        /x/ Yes  / / No

    If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
    quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
    estimate of the results cannot be made.

        The earnings statements to be included in the Registrant's Annual Report
    on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the
    Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30,
    1999, will reflect significant changes in the Registrant's results of
    operations because of the adoption of "fresh start reporting" for the
    Registrant and the acquisition of the Unisyn business, as described above.
    For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, the Registrant expects to
    report total assets of approximately $9,778,000 and a total loss of
    approximately $2,709,000. In comparison, for the fiscal year ended September
    30, 1999, the Registrant reported total assets in the amount of $6,242,000
    and, for the two months ended September 30, 1999, a total loss in the amount
    of $197,000.
