You would most likely want to use limma. Using the only GEO data set for this array as an example:

> library(GEOquery)

> getGEOSuppFiles("GSE72246")

And now you can make whatever comparisons you might like. The limma User's Guide has examples of reading in this sort of data on p. 19, and a worked example starting on p. 110. But after the normalization step, a single color Agilent analysis isn't materially different from any of the Affy examples, and you could use one or more of those as an example since the Agilent example is a time course.

Thank you for the reply. It was really helpful. I checked the user guide for limma. Therein Quantile normalization has been used. Is it possible to use '75th percentile/upper quartile' normalization using limma?

You can find all the available choices for normalization on the help page ?normalizeBetweenArrays
