Red Oil (Industrial Use) Dye 1 Kg R607,73
Red Oil Dye typically refers to “Oil Red O,” a fat-soluble dye primarily used to stain neutral lipids (like triglycerides) and lipoproteins in tissue samples, allowing researchers to visualize and quantify the presence of fat within cells or tissue sections under a microscope; it is commonly used in histology and cell biology studies to analyze lipid accumulation within cells.
