Details on study design:
DOSE PREPARATION
- Method for preparation of dose suspensions: Stock solutions were prepared for the labelled material in toluene. Appropriate aliquots of the toluene solution were taken and the organic solvent was evaporated to dryness at 32° C under vacuum. In order to achieve the required specific activity and the planned dose unlabelled material and cyclohexanone were added to the remaining material. Prior to administration the solution was stirred in order to produce a homogeneous solution.
- Method of storage: not specified

APPLICATION OF DOSE: A silicon ring was glued to the skin, the test solution (about 10 µL/cm² cyclohexanone solution) was administered. Finally the treated area was protected by a gauze cover.

VEHICLE
- Justification for use and choice of vehicle (if other than water): not specified
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): not specified
- Concentration (if solution): not specified
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not specified
- Purity: not specified

TEST SITE
- Preparation of test site: 24 h prior to dosing the back shoulders of the rats were clipped free of hair and the area (about 10 cm²) was washed with acetone.
- Area of exposure: back shoulders
- % coverage: not specified
- Type of cover / wrap if used: gauze cover
- Time intervals for shavings or clipplings: once

SITE PROTECTION / USE OF RESTRAINERS FOR PREVENTING INGESTION: not specified

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Removal of protecting device: 8 h after application
- Washing procedures and type of cleansing agent: After 8 hours the protective
device was removed and the exposed skin was washed with a mild soap solution.
- Time after start of exposure: 8 h

SAMPLE COLLECTION
- Collection of blood: yes
- Collection of urine and faeces: yes
- Collection of expired air: no
- Terminal procedure: At the end of the various collection periods (8, 24 and 72 h) the animals were sacrificed.
- Analysis of organs: skin (treated and non-treated areas), carcass

SAMPLE PREPARATION
- Storage procedure: not specified
- Preparation details: Aliquots of liquid samples (plasma, urine, cage wash) were mixed with scintillation cocktail (Hionic Fluor, Packard) and analyzed for radioactivity without any additional treatment. Faeces were suspended in distilled water. The carcass was homogenized with distilled water using a WARING Blendor. Aliquots of these suspensions were dried by lyophilization in a freeze dryer (LYOVAC GT 3). Aliquots of the remaining powder and of the homogenate of the other tissues or aliquots of the skin were solubilized in SOLUENE (Packard). In order to bleach these samples isopropanol and H2O2-solution were added and left for 24 hours at room temperature. After addition of scintillation cocktail the samples were counted in a liquid scintillation counter (LSC)(Wallac type 1409; Wallac Rack-beta 1219).

ANALYSIS
- Method type(s) for identification: Liquid scintillation counting
- Liquid scintillation counting results (cpm) converted to dpm as follows: not specified
- Validation of analytical procedure: not specified
- Limits of detection and quantification: not specified
