`matrix` | expression matrix with rows=genes and columns=samples; Rownames have to match chip; Columnnames are not mandatory.
`chip` | Identifier for used microarray
`labels` | Classlabels for samples, has to have length=number of columns in matrix

### Details

This is only a convenience wrapper around the function `preprocessedLoader` for the case, that you want to build a MACAT-list from objects in your workspace.
