Large-scale Instruments Sharing Platform

Based on the school and modern information technology, and by gathering large-scale instruments and equipment worth more than 200,000 yuan throughout the school, the large-scale instruments and equipment sharing platform of the School of Light Industry and Food Engineering at Guangxi University has been built into a reasonably arranged, functionally complete, and efficiently shared large-scale instruments and equipment sharing service platform. By June 2024, the labs of this platform had covered an area of approximately 1,600 m2 and boasted 100 sets of large-scale instruments and equipment on the sharing platform, with a total value of nearly 70 million yuan. Among them, there are 79 sets of large-scale instruments and equipment with a unit price of over 400,000 yuan, 57 sets with a unit price of over 500,000 yuan, 8 sets with a unit price of over 1 million yuan, and 1 set with a unit price of over 5 million yuan. The platform has established a comprehensive open and shared management mechanism, with a high-level and specialized technical team, providing technical services to teaching units, research institutions, enterprises, and other entities both on and off campus, and fully leveraging the benefits of equipment resource sharing.

The large-scale analytical testing equipment to provide services here includes: NMR Spectrometer, Transmission Electron Microscope, Atomic Force Microscope, High Pressure Ion Chromatography, Scanning Electron Microscope (Surface Micro Tester), GC-IMS, Fluorescence Spectrometer, Raman Spectrometer, Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, Fiber Analyzer, Laser Thermal Conductivity Instrument, GC/MSD (including Olfactory Recognition System), Plasma Spectrometer, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer, Intelligent Taste Sensing System-Electronic Tongue, X-Ray Diffractometer, High-Speed Automatic Amino Acid Analyzer, Fully Automatic Azotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, Modular Rheometer Platform, etc.

The large-scale instruments and equipment sharing platform of the School of Light Industry and Food Engineering at Guangxi University can provide various testing and research services for teaching, science and research, and enterprises in many fields such as light industry, food, materials, chemistry, chemical engineering, and environment.
