Comparative evaluation of conventional cytology and a low-cost liquid-based cytology technique, EziPREP & #8482;, for cervicovaginal smear reporting: A split sample study

Conclusion: EP provides monolayered cervical smears with vivid morphological details, leading to reduced screening time and relatively higher pick-up of infections and low-grade cervical lesions as compared to conventional smears. The availability of such low-cost devices may enable wider application of cytology-based cervical cancer screening in low-resource countries.
