We do not recommend using phalloidin conjugates for staining actin in combination with traditional Click-iT or Click-iT Plus reactions since phalloidin is extremely sensitive to the presence of copper.
For staining actin in combination with traditional Click-iT or Click-iT Plus reactions, we recommend using anti-α-actin antibodies for staining actin in the cytoskeleton. You can find a list of our actin antibodies here.
Another option would be to use the Click-iT Plus Alexa Fluor Picolyl Azide Toolkit (Cat. Nos. C10641, C10642, C10643). These Click-iT Plus toolkits provide Copper and Copper protectant separately which makes it easier to titrate the copper concentration to obtain optimal labeling with minimal copper-mediated damage. You may need to optimize the click reaction with the lowest possible concentration of copper and then perform the phalloidin staining.

When cells and tissues are treated with solvents such as xylene or acetone (for example during deparaffinization of tissue sections), it affects the F-actin in a way that prevents phalloidins from binding. Phalloidin may be used with cryosections, which are not typically washed with organic solvents, or anti-actin antibodies may be used.
