It seems that you should be able to find data for the density of
dichloromethane at the appropriate temperature and pressure.
(Wikipedia lists a density value of 1.3266 g/cm³, which might be at
298 K and 1 atm --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloromethane.)
This will give you an approximate figure for comparison with your
system. In my experience, protein systems solvated in water tend to
have a density slightly higher than 1 g/ml when equilibrated properly.
This accounts for the greater density of a well-folded protein
compared to water alone. Perhaps you can extrapolate something
similar for your system, in order to help assess the quality of your
equilibration.
