Background: Diagnostic cytology is the science of interpretation of cells that are either exfoliated from epithelial surfaces or removed from various tissues. Good screening makes the accurate diagnosis with minimum efforts. Need for minimal turnaround time have led to various innovations in staining techniques that require lesser staining time with unequivocal cell morphology. Aim: To compare the use of the Modified Ultra-fast Papanicolaou (MUFP) stain with the routine Papanicolaou (Pap), Haematoxylin–Eosin (H&E), and Giemsa stain. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study carried in a tertiary care hospitalCollege name over a period of one year.
