Biotin-XX phalloidin is a high-affinity F-actin probe conjugated to biotin-XX.

  • Selectively stains F-actin
  • Superior to antibody staining
  • Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples

Get Superior Results in Actin Staining Studies
Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins isolated from the deadly Amanita phalloides "death cap" mushroom and is commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin. Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, Biotin-XX phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining.

Use in Multiple Applications
Biotin-XX phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations. Biotin-XX phalloidin staining is fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses including fluorescent proteins, Qdot® nanocrystals, and Alexa Fluor® conjugates including secondary antibodies.
