Cost Performance
The price of Papanicolaou dye exceeded approximately 0.04 to 0.21
dollars per milliliter than that of H-E stain. A certain dosage of them
stained a same number of cytological sections. The service time of them
mainly depends on the needed quantity of sections but not only
restricted by retention time. In this study, the dyeing time of H-E
stain is 27-29 minutes, meantime Papanicolaou stain is 39-46 minutes. In
short, the cost performance of H-E stain is lower than that of
Papanicolaou stain.
