The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SC2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sample Cell II

Programs to open SC2 file
Remember to download programs supporting SC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sample Cell II with SC2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SC2 file to open in the Sample Cell II application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sample Cell II application as the default for handling the SC2 file.
Step 3. Update Sample Cell II to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sample Cell II program with the Sample Cell II Instrument Definition file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SC2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SC2 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SC2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SC2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SC2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SC2 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SC2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SC2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SC2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SC2 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
