A method for staining a Pap test slide specimen for conventional Pap test and, particularly a ThinPrep Pap test specimen, in which a number of multiple hydrating, staining and dehydrating step are performed in an equal number of 10 to 15 dippings at about equal dip times of about 1 second. The total method time is 100 to 150 seconds. The specimen pre-staining fixative solution is a 10% buffered formalin solution and a 95% lower alcohol in a 1:2 volumetric ratio. The method simplifies the staining process and laboratory technician error, while providing an improved stain contrast with a clean background in the resultant conventional and ThinPrep Pap test stained specimens. |
