Hito Oil Red O OptimStain™ Kit is based on the Oil Red O staining method, a widely used technique for studying lipid morphology in adipose tissue. This method enables localization and visualization of lipids in the aortic sinus and aorta to assess the extent of atherosclerosis, and remains a primary approach for visualizing atherosclerotic patterns. Beyond tissue histology, Oil Red O staining is also extensively applied in cell biology research to examine intracellular lipid metabolism.

The Hito Oil Red O OptimStain™ Kit improves upon the traditional Oil Red O method by simplifying procedures while delivering high-quality, rapid, and reliable staining of lipids and fat.

Extensively tested on hearts and arteries from multiple animal species, the Hito Oil Red O OptimStain™ Kit has proven sensitive for demonstrating the fine morphological details of lipids, offering a simple and effective solution for your research.
