What is an RX file?

RX files mostly belong to Agilent OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition.

Main use: RX files are used to store data from Shimadzu high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) experiments. They use an internal ZIP archive structure that bundles multiple data elements such as sample readings, calibration records, and instrument results.
These files also serve as containers for mass spectrometry data, allowing labs to handle experimental results in a compact, organized format.

To properly open and view an RX file, you should use dedicated analysis software. For example, Agilent OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition is designed to interpret these files. In many cases, renaming the file extension to .zip allows advanced users to explore the raw contents.
For more information, visit the Agilent website.

Data Storage: Combines instrument readings, meta-data, and calibration info.
Compression: Uses ZIP format for efficient and organized data storage.
Usage: Supports both HPLC and mass spectrometry experiments.

FilExt.com tip: This specialized file format is essential for labs needing precise data capture and analysis from instruments.
