== Long description ==

This plugin imports array designs for affymetrix - single channel- array design only. The entry point for this plugin in base 2 is the Array Design list page. Array LIMS->Array Designs. The array designs must be provided in a zip archive. The plugins will do the unpacking, creates the array designs using the array design file name and also attach the cdf, clf or bpmap file to the newly created array design.
