What is an EQU file?

EQU files mostly belong to ChemEQL. EQU files are data files that store scientific information in plain text form. They mainly serve two purposes:

Chemical Equation Files: some of these files hold chemical reaction equations. They are used with software like ChemEQL to record formulas, balance reactions, and support equilibrium calculations in chemical research. Although you can open them with any text editor, proper analysis usually requires specialized software.

Genetic Data Analysis Output: some of EQU files are generated as output from genetic data analysis programs. These files log analysis details and simulation results, and they too are stored in text form.

How to open EQU files

You need a suitable software like ChemEQL to open an EQU file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your EQU file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a EQU file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with EQU files

Associate the EQU file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open text files. Because only the current version supports the latest EQU file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available ChemEQL update.
To make sure that your EQU file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
