Dear All,
Is the Scaling Factor (from GCOS) still neccessary for the quality
assessment of Affy, eventhough we are applying RMA or GCRMA for the
probe level analysis?? Many times we only have the .cel files from an
experiment, in this case how can one have a look at the SF using any
BioC package? Could you recommend a comprehensive QC method/procedure
for the Affymetrix chip? Thanks.

Hi - have a look at the package affyPLM and its vignette on quality
assessment.
Best regards,
