We use pre-fixed tissue for oil red o. We rinse the section briefly to remove the formalin from the outside of the tissue. We prepare our tissue in OCT or the equivalent. We cut the frozen sections and mount them on charged slides. We let dry the dry a minimum of 10 minute, rinse them in water to remove the OCT and then proceed with the stain.

I don't know whether I send this question to you. For several weeks, I'm setting oil red O stain in fattty change liver (mouse). Could you review my protocol? 1. Murine tissue,livers, is fixed with 10% NBF(10% neutral-buffered formalin). 2. Make frozen block 3. Blocks were cut 5um in crystat and dried for 1~2H at RT. 4. store at -20 5. let it dry for 30mins at RT 6. immerse it in cold 10% NBF for 10mins 7. staining After staining, my section were fallen off and seperated. I search many protocols. Some suggest additional fixation is necessary as soon as cutting. Others suggest prefixed tissue is not necessary additional fixation. Plz send me your comments. _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
