What is an M01 file?

M01 files mostly belong to UNICORN.

M01 files are used in different systems. The most common type is a chromatography method file created by the UNICORN Chromatography Data System. These files store experimental parameters and instrument settings that control chromatography runs. For more details, visit Cytiva Life Sciences.

Other uses include:

CTS Touch Terminal files: These record log data and system events from touch terminal devices.
Compressed archive parts: Some M01 files are segments of multi-volume archives that may contain compressed audio.
Testo data logger files: These hold measurement segments from Testo instruments and work with Testo ComSoft Basic. More info is available at Testo.

FilExt.com tip: Since the same extension is used in multiple industries, verifying the file header and origin is essential. Open each file with the appropriate software for reliable viewing and editing.
