I have tried till today a lot of protocols (IHC world,...), using isopropanol or propylene glycol or both, but I haven't had any satisfaying results yet...The stain is scattering everywhere out of lipid droplets, red oil is precipitating and the slides end up all dirty. The last protocol I have tried is the following one: fix in formol 10% for ten minutes, then put in 100% propylene glycol for 5 minutes, stain with oil red O 1,8% in isopropanol ( dilution from stock solution 6:4) and then put in 85% propylene glycol for 2 minutes and rinse in deionized water for 1 minutes. I have also tried to later stain with Gill III hematoxylin for 30 seconds, but the results were even worse...  I am quite desperate about it ! Please if anyone met these kind of problems and managed to solve them, I would really appreciate her or his help :) Thanks in advance !
