Abstract: Since 2009, Nanjing University has implemented the “Three-stage & Three-Track” undergraduate teaching reform. In line with this concept, the experimental teaching of chemistry has undergone continuous reform to cultivate studentsʼ solid professional practice skills, strong interdisciplinary abilities, and enhanced comprehensive and innovative practical capabilities. Instruments and equipment have played an important supporting role in this reform. To effectively utilize the limited large instruments to meet the needs of various experimental courses, the National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education (Nanjing University) has established a high-quality, teaching-oriented public instrument platform, focusing on cultivating “four practical abilities”. However, optimizing the utilization of resources through open sharing of instruments, while balancing teaching tasks, remains an important challenge requiring ongoing exploration. This paper presents the management mechanisms adopted by the platform in experimental teaching, instrument training, sharing and opening, using the public instrument platform of the National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education (Nanjing University) as a case study. It highlights the achievements made, providing a reference for similar instrument platforms at other domestic universities.

Key words: Instrument platform, Experimental teaching, Instrument sharing, Instrument training
