Candice,
Remember freshly prepared Oil Red O Stock usually does not work.
Prepare your saturated Oil Red O Stock and leave it for a week or more before
using it to prepare a working solution.

I do oil red a lot. You are doing it on frozen sections right?
What are you coverslipping with?
Need a few more details of the protocol and I might be able to help =)

Most of the references regarding this technique use Sudan IV, that's what we
use here. We use Oil Red O for the Aortic Root Sections but not for the En Face
Analysis of the Aorta. I have the Sudan IV procedure we use here if you would
like it.
