HCS allows you to designate a control lane during the run setup steps. Generally, you do not need to designate a control lane if the sequence you are analyzing has a balanced genome. In the case of an unbalanced or skewed base composition (e.g., bisulfite-treated samples) a control lane is recommended. This is not equivalent to a PhiX spike-in.
