Product Introduction:

Oil Red O is a lipophilic azo dye that is a strong lipid solvent and dye, capable of specifically staining neutral triglycerides, lipids, and lipoproteins in tissues and cells. When tissue slices are inserted into the dye solution, the dye leaves the dye solution and dissolves in lipids (such as lipid droplets) within the tissue, causing the lipid droplets inside the tissue to turn red. Used to analyze the lipid status in cell samples.

The Modified Oil Red O Stain Kit is mainly used to display fat degeneration and abnormal deposition of lipid like substances in tissues and organs, which often occur in fatty degeneration of parenchymal organs such as liver, kidney, and heart, and most neutral fat droplets appear in cells; Identify and diagnose tumors and their properties that occur in adipose tissue. The specimen does not use a fixative containing ethanol (10% formalin can be used for fixation if necessary), nor does it use paraffin sections. Instead, frozen sections or carbon wax sections are required. The positive staining result of fat is orange yellow to red, and the specific color depends on the lipid concentration.
