General description

Tricalcium phosphate or tribasic calcium phosphate is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid with the formula Ca3(PO4)2. This material is a white powder consisting of particles with a size from 2-6 microns and a high surface area exceeding 80 m2/g.

Application

Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate are bioactive ceramic materials and they find applications as bone grafts, fillers and coating material for metal implants.[1][2][3]

The ideal bone tissue engineering scaffolds are long-cherished with the properties of interconnected macroporous structures, adjustable degradation and excellent biocompatibility. Here, a series of porous α/β-tricalcium phosphate (α/β-TCP) biphasic bioceramics with different phase ratios of α-TCP and β-TCP were successfully

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich hatte mich gefragt, in wie fern das Ca3(PO4)2 trocken ist, oder ob Wasser in irgendeiner Form noch mit enthalten ist? Für meine Anwendung bräuchte ich ein Ca-Phosphat, das zumindest nach brennen im Ofen trocken ist.

    1 answer
    1. Unfortunately, this product is not assayed for water content. If having dry material is a requirement, it is recommended that you oven-dry a sample to a constant weight.
