What is a GXA file?

GXA files mostly belong to GeneXpert Dx System. GXA files are used to store data from a GeneXpert assay run on Cepheid systems. These files hold the test results produced by diagnostic instruments that use PCR-based methods.
They contain not only the assay outcomes but also metadata that helps in quality control and calibration checks.
Details include:

Proprietary diagnostic data

PCR test readings and control information

File structure designed for the GeneXpert system

FilExt.com tip: To unlock the information inside a GXA file, use the dedicated GeneXpert Dx System software. For further technical insights, visit the Cepheid website.

GXA format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our examination of the GXA files comes to the following conclusion:

The GXA file extension is not found very often and is primarily used by a single program. The file formats most commonly found in GXA files are:

75% of all GXA files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "FCC2279597DBE28F2689F83C183692B7" at the beginning. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The average file size is 5 MB with most files being between 80 KB and 28 MB in size. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as FCC2279597DBE28F2689F83C183692B76B3C311C0F8AC1141D73E4FEA09EB851FDC46057E3A42BF312AF41ECDE142438BFE56E762888D67B1D73E4FEA09EB8511E5DBAED011697B9BEE01C8A8CF25B637FF6E3D65E27A604F1E8A06541C475FBE4E9981E. The file name Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2_2.gxa or Xpert MTB-RIF Ultra_4.gxa is characteristic of these files. These files can be linked to xpert, xpress, sars, plus, ultra, assay, viral and load.
15% of all GXA files use ZIP compression, multiple files are compressed and combined into one GXA file. The included 7 to 90 files have file names such as PlanogramList.gxd, PlanogramModel_Extension1.gxd, PlanogramModel_Image1.gxd, PlanogramModel1.gxd, Policy.gxd, StandardProduct_Image1.gxd, StandardProduct.gxd and header. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. GXA files can be up to 9 MB in size, but are often around 44 KB - 4 MB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as header.

All other GXA files (10%) have no consistent format, the following 3 formats exist: XCar Graphics. Files like these are sometimes linked to mrsa. If you want to find out what your GXA file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
