As Guido Bongi ·told, if your solution absorved CO2, you may form CaCO3, wich has a very low solubility, lower than Na2CO3. The proposed test also will give you co2 bubbles..

Hi Sarah: Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride can react with phosphate and form less soluble calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate. Furthermore, solubility of calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate decreases with increasing temperature. Thus, there are three solutions to your difficulty, but you will need to start over because I have never had success getting the calcium phosphate preciptitate redissolved once it has formed. One is to warm up the saline before adding the small amount of solid calcium chloride you need. Next solution, which usually works for me, is to dissolve the solid calcium chloride in water, say 0.5-1 ml, and add it slowly to the saline while mixing. Last solution is combine the first two.

Thank you, everyone, for your insights. We tested the precipitate, and it did turn out to be calcium carbonate. It was likely a leftover contaminant from the original reaction using calcium carbonate to create the calcium chloride isotope.

Well, Guess Howard is OK, but the major problem is what sort of saline and the use of crystals. Never do so because local concentrations during crystal solution can reach local values well above Kps of carbonate and phosphate, but use 2X solutions to make the saline. http://www.protocol-online.org/biology-forums/posts/39878.html

I guess sone sodium carbonate is in solution; check if pH is alcaline and remove carbonates or use EDTA. Try to see if the precipitate is dissolved in HCL with gas bubbles of CO2
