In cytology, PAP is a shortened version of the name Papaniculeaou, for the originator of this stain. Once a cytology specimen (body fluid or fixative solution containing cells) has been properly placed on a slide, it is dried for 30 minutes to 1 hour before staining. The staining procedure is as follows: 8 minutes in 95% alcohol, followed by 1 minute rinse in distilled running water, 2 minutes in Gill's Hematoxylin, 1 minute in distilled running water, 1 minute in Scott's Water (a "blue-ing" agent), 10 dips in 70% alcohol, 10 dips in 95% alcohol, 2 minutes in OG-6 (orange stain), 10 dips in 95% twice, 2 minutes in EA-50 (a green and pink mixture of stain), 10 tips each in 95% alcohol twice, 100% alcohol twice, then 10 dips in a Xylene/100% alcohol mix, and 10 dips in Xylene before coverslipping.

In cytology, "p-a-p" stands for Papanicolaou staining, a method used to stain cells to highlight their structure and morphology. "p-a-f" is not a standard abbreviation in cytology, so it is unclear what it may refer to.
