                                  SCHEDULE 13D

Introduction

         This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the intended acquisition by
Trilobite Lakes Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Tribolite"), of up to 2,051,220
shares of the Common Stock, $.001 per share (the "Common Shares") of Calypte
Biomedical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the
terms of (i) a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2000 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), among the Company, Trilobite and the other purchasers
party thereto, and (ii) a $1 million Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of March 2,
2000 (the "Bridge Agreement"), between the Company and Trilobite. All of the
outstanding capital stock of Trilobite is owned by LHC Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("LHC"), and all of the outstanding capital stock of LHC is owned by
Claneil Enterprises, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Claneil").

         Under the Purchase Agreement, Trilobite has agreed to purchase
1,951,220 Common Shares at a price of $2.05 per share and under the Bridge
Agreement Trilobite has acquired from the Company a Warrant, dated March 2, 2000
(the "Warrant") to purchase 100,000 Common Shares at $3.62 per share, subject to
normal adjustments. Closing under the Purchase Agreement is to be completed
immediately following effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-3
covering resales by the purchasers of Common Shares issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement and issuable under the Warrant. Such registration statement
was filed by the Company on March 13, 2000 (the "S-3 Registration Statement")
and has not yet become effective. The Purchase Agreement provides that, at the
closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue an aggregate of
4,096,000 Common Shares to eleven (11) purchasers (including Trilobite).
However, the beneficial ownership percentages of the filing parties herein are
based on (i) 20,481,153 Common Shares issued and outstanding on March 1, 2000,
and (ii) the assumption that the only additional Common Shares to be issued and
outstanding following the closing under the Purchase Agreement are those to be
issued to Trilobite and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
If all shares to be issued at the closing under the Purchase Agreement to all
parties thereto were deemed outstanding, the beneficial ownership percentage of
the filing parties would be 8.3%.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

         This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of the common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), of Calypte Biomedical
Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation with its principal executive
offices at 1265 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, CA 94502.

Purchase Agreement and the Warrant. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company

Purchase Agreement.

         Under the Bridge Agreement, Trilobite has agreed to advance the Company
up to $1 million, from time to time. All such advances will become due on May

repayment, any outstanding balances will be credited to Trilobite's purchase
obligations thereunder and deemed discharged.

         The Warrant expires on March 2, 2005.
