[Histonet] Oil Red O for FS on Muscle

[Akemi Allison]

Happy hump day!

Does anyone have a good procedure for Oil Red O for FS on Muscle.   
The  procedure the lab I am working with is having a great deal of  
problems with their muscle biopsy panel.  I am trouble-shooting some  
of the issues for the 1-Step Trichrome 3.4 pH, NADH, AT Pase,  I am  
working with them with pH issues.

The Oil Red O is very problematic.  They are mixing before use and  
filtering with 42 Watman paper, but there is a lot of residual  
background on the slides.  Also, they were not fixing the sections  
with 37% formaldehyde, even though the procedure calls for it.  Could  
you share who you get the stain from also.  Your assistance is  
greatly appreciated.
