BioGnost’s Oil Red O kit is used for histological visualisation of lipids in tissues. It is used with frozen tissue sections; lipids melt if processed in xylene or in alcohol. Oil Red O dye has mostly replaced Sudan stains (Sudan III and Sudan IV) previously used for detecting lipids because it provides more intense red staining and is simpler to use.
