Komal,
I don't know what kind of lab you are in, I'm in a core facility and I
do histology on research projects. When I get an ORO this is what I do
for a control:
I get a piece of tissue like mouse kidney with some fat attached or
maybe some muscle with fat and have it snap frozen. I have found that
the frozen blocks stay good for a long time at
-80ºC and so do the frozen sections on slides. I always cut a bunch of
slides and store them and take one out when I have the stain ordered.

Hello Histonetters,
I am trying to find a procedure for using butter and egg yolks as
controls
for the Oil Red O stain (to show the fat).
Does anyone have something they would be able to share with me?
Thanks,
Komal
