'They will also be looking for trends in usage and bugs and helping to solve problems with our engineers,' she added.The Department of Chemistry Instrumentation Facility (DCIF) is the shared instrument facility for the Chemistry Department located in the sub-basement (18-0090) of the Camille Edouard Dreyfus Building on the main MIT campus.
