Hey! I'm stuck in a situation here and I just would like to know if you can help me.
I have a sample of hydroxyapatite here with me, and I wish to confirm if this is really the sample that I have. I must have it analyzed outside my province. Hydrodxyapatite is an inorganic material. Where do you think should I put my samples? In a plastic container or glass container or paper bag or what? It's only a gram per sample, and I am planning to have three samples analyzed. Thank you very much

- Project Question: Will calcium nitrate decompose if I boil a calcium nitrate solution (calcium nitrate in water) ? Also, if an eggshell is subjected to 900 degrees Celsius, is it possible to have a product which has black stuff on it? ( I assume that the product must be mostly white, because CaCO3 must decompose into CaO (which is white) and CO2) Thank you very much.

Re: Proper Storage of Chemicals
Ask the lab you are sending the samples to. You probably want to prevent contamination so an air tight sealed container is their likely answer.

Re: Proper Storage of Chemicals
Here is the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for calcium hydroxyapatite (is that what you are referring to?)
