I need a total cell stain, similar to HCS CellMask Blue stain, to label cytoplasm and nuclei in live cells. What do you recommend?

You can use a combination of two dyes with overlapping blue emission. For cytoplasm, you can label the cell with CellTracker Blue CMAC. This can be combined with Hoechst 33342 for nuclei. Both dyes are imaged using a standard DAPI filter set.
