25 uM (containing up to 5 % solvent), from a stock of 50-100 % solvent at 1 mM.. Btw I forgot.. for SPR (depends on the system, and especially for a 12mer), some detergents and even a minor DMSO/ethanol can affect the measurements drastically.

Hi Rex, Maybe it is related to a 3rd party package then.. Are you using Windows? Check C++ (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=) or mySQL (https://www.mysql.com/downloads/) Try to reinstall these, probably might help, but be sure about the 64 or 32 bit version. toufic O
