NOTES

Weanlling Yorkshire Pig skin was used.The % Penetrated is derived from adding the amount found in the receptor fluid to the amount found in the skin. Total recovery was very low even though an evaporation trap ws used, this is thought to be due to evaporative loss during the application process.
