Staining of human skin using Oil Red O (Lipid Stain) Solution.
Oil Red O (Lipid Stain) Solution (ab223796) staining lipid deposits (red) in frozen normal human skin. The dermis is unstained, whereas the hypodermis is stained, demonstrating dye specificity. Hematoxylin (blue) is used as a counterstain.

Staining of 3T3-L1 and adipocyte-like cells using Oil Red O (Lipid Stain) Solution.
During adipocyte differentiation, cells accumulate lipid. Oil Red O (Lipid Stain) Solution (ab223796) was used to visualize lipid in 3T3-L1 cells (left) and adipocyte-like cells (right). As expected, lipid accumulates in 3T3-L1 cells after differentiation into adipocyte-like cells.
