Oil Red O Kit (CAT#: ITS-1022-ZP66)

Four-reagent kit for selective staining and detection of adipocytes and neutral fat, according to Johnson. It can be used with frozen sections and fresh smears to detect obesity-related diseases such as dyslipidemia and types of diabetes.

Creative Biolabs' Oil Red O kit is used for histological visualization of lipids in tissues. It is used with frozen tissue sections; lipids will thaw if handled in xylene or alcohol. Oil Red O dye has primarily replaced Sudan stains (Sudan III and Sudan IV) previously used to detect lipids because it provides a more intense red staining and is easier to use.
