Ever since we have switched to v3 chemistry, we have noticed that we are loosing tiles randomly during imaging. There seem to be 3 specific phenotypes:
1. Loosing a few tiles for a cycle, and then it recovers. This can happen only once during the runs or several times.
2. Loosing the same tile many tiles during the run, causing the tile not to be analyzed at all, reducing the pass filter rate.
3. Loosing an entire surface (top or bottom) for a cycle.
Has anyone else seen this? The bottom, middle surface (8 tiles) seems to be the most common to be lost, but have seen it in other tiles.
