Can the components of the Click-iT Plus EdU Alexa Fluor Imaging Kits be used for labeling samples for flow cytometry?

Other than the EdU (Component A), DMSO (Component C), and Click-iT EdU buffer additive (Component F or G), all other components in the respective kits are not interchangeable. The types of reagents and amounts provided per kit were optimized either for imaging or flow cytometry. Using the imaging reagents may result in an excessive level of signal for flow cytometry detection and using the flow cytometry reagents may result in sub-optimal signal for imaging.
