[Histonet] Neutralization of AZF

[Vickroy, Jim]

It's been awhile but we have a procedure listed for neutralization of AZF fixative.  One of the ingredients is listed as simply sodium carbonate.  Does anyone know if this reagent is correct or should it be sodium bicarbonate?   We are thinking it should be sodium anhydrous carbonate but can't pull up the original article on the internet.  Could some share this information or send me their method of neutralization?

Thanks
