Oil Red O Staining Kit (for Fat) is intended for histological visualization of adipocytes and neutral fat. Oil Red O is an excellent dye for demonstrating the general localization of fat in frozen tissue sections. Oil Red O staining can be used to visualize tumors arising from adipocytes, distinguishing them from other types of tumors. In addition, Oil Red O can be used to identify degraded substances containing fatty deposits, such as cell membranes or myelin.
