What is an SKAX file?

SKAX files mostly belong to Thermo Fisher Scientific SkanIt Software. SKAX files are used by Thermo Scientific SkanIt Software to store experimental data from instruments like the Varioskan LUX reader.
They use the ZIP format internally, which means the file is a container for different types of data including measurements and metadata.

Data from scientific experiments
Calibration and system logs
Instrument measurement records

You must open or view these files with the proprietary software. Advanced users can rename the file extension to .zip and explore the contents with standard ZIP tools.
