[Histonet] Oil Red O trivia

Hello Just wondering if anyone knows the what the 'O' in oil red O stands for. I suspect that it stands for nothing other than O similar to the 'G' in Orange G. One of our pathologists is looking for a tricky stain question to annoy trainees with. Thanks for your help Finlay

Re: [Histonet] Paraffin Tissue Crumbles

Having some experience processing and embedding rodent tissues myself (by hand), I would say that you are over-dehydrating the tissues. Try cutting back the alcohol incubation times to 30 min or even 10 min each. Regards, Merced --On Tuesday, November 09, 2010 2:56 PM -0800 Michael Mashore

RE: [Histonet] Paraffin Tissue Crumbles

I agree most of your times are too long, but you can still get sections if you put water on your ice block and allow the tissue to rehydrate a bit or put a little ammonium hydroxide and water on your ice and sit your blocks to be section in this solution. -Original Message- From:
