The file is a split-archive part of a compressed 7-Zip file. The ".001" suffix indicates it is the first volume of a multi-part set. To access the data inside, you typically need all subsequent parts (e.g., FlowJas.7z.002, FlowJas.7z.003) saved in the same location. Understanding the 7z.001 Format
: Breaking a large file into segments that fit on smaller storage devices (like USB sticks) or bypass email attachment limits.
: Software like FlowJo uses "Archive Files" (often .acs) to bundle experimental data and workspaces. A multi-gigabyte flow cytometry dataset might be split into .001 parts for sharing between researchers.
The 7z format is an open-source, high-compression archive type developed by Igor Pavlov. Splitting a large archive into smaller pieces like ".001" is a common practice for:
