Hey Janet, DRAQ5 will penetrate live cells. It is best excited at 633nm, but seemingly, can also be excited at 488nm. Produced by Biostatus http://www.biostatus.co.uk/draq5_technical.html If you can excite by a UV laser, Hoechst 33342 is an alternative. Regards.

I don't have any experience with this. She is specifically looking for a protocol that will keep the cells alive and happy yet stain the DNA. Thanks in advance for all your help.
