Steven: 

  I have found Coulter DNA Check beads work fairly well in UV.  They are
fairly bright and get good CVs.  I have tried beads from Polysciences made
for UV, but found the CVs to be horrendous.  The DNA Checks have a very
broad exitation range, so I imagine they will also work at the higher
wavelengths.  Good luck.
