Sudan red BK
Description
Sudan III is a lysochrome (fat soluble dye) predominantly used for demonstrating triglycerides in frozen sections, but it may also stain some protein bound lipids in paraffin sections. It is less popular than oil red O as it has a more orange shade.
Compare this dye to the other common lysochromes sudan IV, oil red O and sudan black B.
