How Spectra fits with existing NMR software
Spectra is a ranking and evidence layer for NMR compound identification. It does not replace TopSpin, Mnova, Delta or ACD/Labs unless you choose to change those validated tools.
This is a positioning page, not a feature-matrix shoot-out. We do not compare prices, and we do not call Spectra the best NMR software.
The job each class of tool already does
- TopSpin (Bruker) is a common environment for acquisition and processing on Bruker systems.
- Delta (JEOL) plays a similar role for JEOL systems.
- Mnova (Mestrelab Research) is widely used for processing, prediction, and reporting across vendors.
- ACD/Labs tools are widely used for processing and computer-assisted structure elucidation.
Those products are trademarks of their owners. Mentioning them describes a typical laboratory, not a partnership.
Where Spectra sits
Spectra ranks candidate structures from 1H and 13C data and returns evidence for chemist review. The live product names Bruker, JEOL, Varian and JCAMP-DX as spectrum sources. That is data-source compatibility.
It is not a confirmed plugin, API connector, or certified integration into any of the four tools above.
What we do not claim
- Replacement of acquisition software
- Replacement of your validated processing method
- Feature-by-feature superiority
- Identical peak-picking behaviour
- Any statement about competitor pricing or licensing
When to keep your current stack unchanged
If a method is validated in TopSpin or Mnova, keep processing there. Export spectra, then use Spectra as a second-pass ranking layer. That is the conservative path for regulated groups.
