View CEL Files Instantly Using FileViewPro

A .CEL file can represent very different data types, but in biotech/genomics it’s widely known as the Affymetrix/Thermo Fisher GeneChip format holding raw probe-level intensities; each probe spot on the microarray binds sample fragments, the scanner measures its brightness, and the CEL file logs those values—indexed by X/Y positions or probe IDs—plus scan metadata, with the data considered “raw” until …

No More Errors: FileViewPro Handles CEL Files Correctly

A .CEL file has multiple possible meanings, so its explanation depends entirely on the software or field that produced it; in biotech/genomics it most often represents an Affymetrix/Thermo Fisher GeneChip microarray output that stores raw probe-intensity values from a scanned chip, where each tiny probe spot on the array is measured for brightness after hybridization, and the CEL file records …
