description: Amersham Biosciences CodeLink Uniset Rat I Bioarray.
  
  It has:
  
  - ~10 000 rat genes, one specific, prescreened 30-mer probe per gene, functionally validated
  - one set of housekeeping genes that may be used for baseline normalization
  - 68 bacterial control probes, 18 positive control probes to monitor cDNA and cRNA synthesis and array activity,
  - 50 negative control probes to determine threshold and assess background
