Rapid Lipid-Staining Procedure for Paper Electrophoretograms

Abstract We describe a rapid, reliable staining procedure for lipoproteins on paper electrophoretograms. Staining time, is 2.5 h in an acetone-water (1:1, by vol) solution of Oil Red O dye (0.4 g/liter). Results agree well with those obtained by the conventional overnight staining technique
