Jim,

...perhaps it is "sodium azide" rather than sodium nitride????  

Hydrogen peroxide and sodium azide together in solution is very
effective in eliminating "endogenous peroxidase"

 I have been asked to try a new Immumohistochemistry (IHC) technique
which

 uses 1% hydrogen peroxide and 2% sodium nitride in phosphate buffer

 solution.  Does anyone know what sodium nitride Is? and where can it be

 purchased?

Sodium nitride is Na3N, but I don't think you will be able to purchase
it

anywhere.  It is a compound that was long believed to be chemically

impossible, but which only recently was experimentally synthesized for
the

first time by deposition of atomic sodium and nitrogen beams onto a

supercooled sapphire in a vacuum.  I doubt that the compound is
commercially

available.  Perhaps it is sodium nitrite that is called for in your

protocol?

I think there must be a mistake in the name.

Sodium nitride (Na3N) is a grey solid formed by

heating metallic sodium in nitrogen. It is

instantly decomposed by water, so a solution in

phosphate buffer could not be made.

Sodium nitride, Na3N, is a rather unstable compound first prepared in
2002.

The synthesis is notoriously difficult.  I do not think it is
commercially

available.  I think that the "nitride" in your recipe is a typographical

error in "nitrite".  Sodium nitrite is available from both Aldrich and

Fisher.
