There are a wide range of commercially available stains for High Content Imaging. Please contact the TDI to discuss the range of fluorophores available for your screening requirements. 

Invitrogen's Cell Staining Tool allows you to stain your own cell using their custom simulation tool to develop reproducible results with many of their fluorescent dyes.

Invitrogen Cell Staining Tool and Invitrogen Organelle Staining Guide.

This is a useful tool for assessing compatible flourophores.
