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.
Oil Red O Kit
Four-reagent kit for selective staining and detection of fat cells and neutral fats according to Johnson. It can be used with frozen sections and fresh smears to detect obesity-linked pathologies such as dyslipidemia and diabetes type.
