Sodium azide is historically used to preserve transient worm choices in arena chemotaxis assays. In the food choice assay, the effect of the sodium azide can paralyze worms before they enter the bacteria lawn, possibly interfering with their choice. Azide also affects bacteria, potentially affecting the production of molecules that attract or repel worms and thus altering worm choice independent of the paralytic effect on worms.
