About RX files
The .RX file extension primarily represents a Chromatography Data Result file generated by Agilent OpenLab CDS (Chromatography Data System). These files store critical experimental data, including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) results, spectral analysis, and peak integration data, often interfacing with Shimadzu instruments. Because the format is highly proprietary and binary, it cannot be opened by standard text editors or spreadsheet tools like Excel. Users often struggle when trying to share these results with colleagues who lack a licensed CDS installation. The only reliable way to convert this data for analysis is to use the original software to export the results to CSV, XLSX, or PDF reports. Less commonly, an .RX file may be a specific volume of a split WinRAR archive (typically following a sequence like .r00, .r01, etc.), which requires all associated parts to be present for successful extraction.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted COLE RX, RAX, PTS and FMF files.

The RX Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RX converter.
