no

Details on study design:

APPLICATION OF DOSE: evenly distributed using a syringe fitted with a blunted hypodermic needle. The water was evaporated with a hair-dryer

TEST SITE
- Preparation of test site: hair removed with electric veterinary clipper followed by a treatment with a commercial depilatory
- Area of exposure: 100 square cm
- Type of cover / wrap if used: aluminium foil, fixed with an elastic net sleeve. Finally protected with a plaster wrapped around the trunk

SITE PROTECTION / USE OF RESTRAINERS FOR PREVENTING INGESTION: yes: see Type of cover

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Removal of protecting device: 72 hours after application
- Washing procedures and type of cleansing agent: no
- Time after start of exposure: 72 hours

SAMPLE COLLECTION
- Collection of blood: yes
- Collection of urine and faeces: yes
- Collection of expired air: no
- Terminal procedure: killed by intraveneous injection of 0.3 ml T 61
- Analysis of organs: skeletal muscle, skin

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS
Radioactivity was measured on a Packard Tricarb Scintillation Counter, Model 3375 or Model 3385. Quenching was corrected for by the AES channels ratio method or by the internal standard method.
Blood/Urine: 0.6 mL and 0.5 mL aliquots, respectively were adsorbed on cellulose powder and directly combusted using the Packard Tricarb Sample Oxidizer, Model 306.
Subcutaneous tissue/net sleeve: As it was difficult to obtain representative aliquots, these materials were totally combusted in several portions.
Faeces: The faeces were lyophilized, homogenized in a disc mill, model T 250 and aliquots of approximately 400 mg combusted.
Skin/Muscle: These materials were homogenized with water, 3 mL/g, using a Polytron mixer. After lyophilization the material was homogenized in the disc mill and aliquots of approximately 250 mg were combusted.
Aluminium foil: The aluminium foil was extracted with methanol under reflux. The extract was reduced in volume and aliquots measured in the counting medium.
For control purposes the total aluminium foil after extraction was combusted in an oxygen stream at 900°C. The CO2 liberated was absorbed in three traps each containing 10 mL ethanolamine/methanol (1.2/8.8 v/v). Radioactivity was measured after addition of 10 mL of the counting medium.
Plaster: The plaster was cut in small pieces, several of which were randomly selected to assemble aliquots of 500 mg. These aliquots were combusted as discribed for the aluminium foil.
Background measurements in blood, faeces and urine were carried out prior to application from each individual rabbit. Samples of skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle for background measurement were taken from a control rabbit, maintained under experimental conditions, but without application of radioactive material. Samples from this animal were also used for fortified sample experiments to determine the recovery of radioactivity. For all materials the recovery was within 100 ± 5%, with exception of the plaster, where only 85% of the radioactivity was recovered. The values obtained were not corrected for 100% recovery.
