Question

How can I upload and store QC data in caArray?

...

Wiki Markup
The QC data as mentioned in the question can be added as Comment\[\] columns in your MAGE-TAB SDRF.
Ideally, they would be Characteristics associated with the Hybridization Name or Scan Name column. Unfortunately, the MAGE-TAB specification does not allow Characteristic\[\] columns for Hybridization Name or Scan Name. We recommend that you include these QC annotations as Comment\[\] columns following either the Hybridization Name or Scan Name column.
Wiki Markup

One thing to keep in mind is that caArray does not currently parse the contents of Comment \[\] columns and store the values in the database. But these annotations would be captured in the SDRF file itself, which is stored as is by caArray.
