NMR Solvent Peaks
This utility helps organic chemists quickly identify potential impurities by searching a database of NMR data. Users can input solvent, peak multiplicity, and location to find candidate impurities. It supports both proton and carbon data searches.
- Search for impurities by mode, solvent, multiplicity, and ppm
- View alphabetical list of all impurities
- Adjust user interface handedness
- Select color themes
- Supports proton and carbon NMR data

NMR Solvent Peaks is a conveniently-searchable version of the ungainly table of NMR data most organic chemists keep a copy of nearby. Instead of searching through the table for a peak near your unidentified peak, just enter your solvent and the peak's multiplicity and location and you'll have a short list of candidate impurities. NMR Solvent Peaks has support for searching both proton and carbon data, and references the widely-distributed 2010 Organometallics paper by Gregory Fulmer and coworkers and the 2016 OPRD paper by Gregory Whiteker and coworkers. Feature Highlights: - search for impurities based upon mode (proton/carbon), deuterated solvent, multiplicity, and ppm - select "show all" for ppm to see an alphabetical list of all impurities in the app's database - pick a color theme and adjust the user interface handedness

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NMR Solvent Peaks at none against Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's 1. NMR Solvent Peaks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 11). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. NMR Solvent Peaks asks for nothing beyond the download.
NMR Solvent Peaks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite has 1.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's written reviews are positive against 100% of NMR Solvent Peaks's.
Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite ships an update weekly, NMR Solvent Peaks every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
