The Core Facilities and Experiment Center (CFEC) is an experimental platform that provides advanced instruments and facilities as well as open experimental environments to users both within and outside Xi'an Jiaotong University. As a secondary unit directly under the university, it coordinates the construction and management of university-level public laboratories and oversees the development and daily operations of the Instrumental Analysis Center (IAC). Aiming to meet international first-class standards, the IAC offers comprehensive technical services including instrumental analysis, comprehensive consultation, skills training, and methodological innovation for teachers and students on and off campus. The IAC operates four core functional divisions: microanalysis, inorganic analysis, organic Analysis, and physical property analysis. With advanced equipment and technologies, it provides material structure-activity analysis services to the public, covering material microstructure and morphology, inorganic and organic composition and structure, and their material properties. Currently, the CFEC occupies a construction area of 12,000 square meters and houses 101 sets of large-scale equipment with a total value of 265 million yuan. In 2020, it obtained the China Inspection Body and Laboratory Mandatory Approval (CMA).

The university has planned eight university-level public laboratories at Western China Science and Technology Innovation Harbor, five of which are currently operating – the Instrumental Analysis Center, High-Performance Computing Center, Biomedical Experiment Center, Laboratory Animal Center, and Micro-Nano Electronic Device Experiment Center. Except for the IAC, the other centers were planned, constructed, and operated by subordinated schools and departments. Guided by the principles of "Scientific Rigor, Open Sharing, Efficiency and Standardization", the CFEC drives continuous improvements in technical capabilities and service quality across all experiment centers, aiming to help turn Xi'an Jiaotong University into a "Double First-Class" university.
