First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising oolitic aragonite particles and a protein comprising albumin or an antibody, wherein the oolitic aragonite particles have an average particle size of between 1 nm to 100 mm, and wherein the oolitic aragonite particles are functionalized to bind the protein. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oolitic aragonite particles have an average size between 2.5 to 3.5 μm. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oolitic aragonite particles are milled or ball milled. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the oolitic aragonite particles have a Hunter brightness level of approximately 94. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the protein is in an amount of 0.001% (w/w) to 1% (w/w). 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein a pH of the composition is less than 7. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment comprises stearic acid.
