Tile Numbering
The HiSeq X patterned flow cell is imaged in 96 tiles on each lane, top and bottom, for each
cycle. Each lane has 2 swaths with 24 tiles per swath. Tiles are numbered according to
position.
The tile name is a 4-digit number that represents the position on the flow cell.
}
The first digit represents the surface:
•
1 is for top
•
2 is for bottom
}
The second digit represents the swath:
•
1 is for the first swath
•
2 is for the second swath
NOTE
A swath is a column of tiles within a lane of the flow cell.
}
The last 2 digits represent the tile, 01 through 24. Tile numbering starts with 01 at the
output end of the flow cell through 24 at the input end.

This example indicates a tile from the top surface of the flow cell, the second swath,
and the seventh tile.
