Abstract: We present the Y-formalism in the pure spinor quantization of superstring theory in detail. Even if the $omega-lambda$ OPE is not completely free owing to the presence of the projector reflecting the pure spinor constraint, it is shown that one can construct at the quantum level a conformal field theory in full agreement with the Berkovits' pure spinor formalism. The OPE's of the two formalisms are the same if we define the relevant operators involving $omega$ in a suitable manner. Moreover the Y-formalism at hand is utilized to find the full expression of the covariant, picture raised $b$ antighost $b_B$, with a reasonable amount of effort.
