     This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Statement
on Schedule 13D, dated November 26, 1999 and filed on December 6, 1999 (the
"Original Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Novitron International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer"). Mr. Randal J. Kirk and Clinical Chemistry Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation that is controlled by Mr. Kirk ("CCH" and, together with
Mr. Kirk, the "Reporting Persons"), are filing this Amendment to update the
information in the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
         --------------------------------------------------

     Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

     "During the period commencing February 2, 2000 and ending March 14, 2000,
CCH used approximately $84,076 of working capital to purchase 32,100 shares of
Common Stock and sold 10,000 shares of Common Stock for approximately $20,644."

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
         -------------------------------------

     Item 5(a) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

     "The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to which
this statement relates is 393,333 shares, representing 27.3% of the
1,441,925 shares outstanding as reported by the Issuer on February 8, 2000 in
the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 (the most recent available filing by the Issuer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission). CCH beneficially owns all of the shares to which this
statement relates, and Mr. Kirk is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
shares owned by CCH."

     Item 5(c) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented
as follows:

     "The following table lists all transactions in shares of Common Stock by
the Reporting Persons that were effected from December 6, 1999, the date on
which this Statement on Schedule 13D was originally filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, through March 14, 2000:
