SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (BIOQUAL, Inc., 
Common Stock, $.01 par Value) File No. 1-13527

April 12, 2002.
    BIOQUAL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (``Issuer''), has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'' or 
``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer states in its application that it has met the 
requirements of the CHX Article XXVIII, Rule 4, by complying with 
Exchange's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security from listing and registration. In making the decision to 
withdraw the Security from listing and registration on the CHX, the 
Issuer considered (i) the cost associated with maintaining such listing 
and (ii) the Security's low trading volume. The Issuer determined that 
the benefits of continued listing of the Security on the Exchange did 
not justify the expense of maintaining such listing. Issuer stated that 
the Security is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's 
withdrawal from listing on the CHX and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect it obligation to be 
registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

    Any interested person may, on or before May 2, 2002, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the CHX and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for 
the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
