German term or phrase: breit (in a chemical formulation)

Follow-up to the last question.
The chemical formulation in this patent (colorant for hair) contains the term "breit" e.g.: 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO): 7.9-7.0 (s, breit, 4H, OH and NH3+); 6.56 (d, J=1.8,1H, H(2)); 6.50 (d, J=8.1, 1H, H(5)); 6.41 (dd, J=1.8, J=8.1, 1H, H(6)); 3.35 (s, 2H, CH2-C=O); 3.41 (t, 2H, J=6.6, N-CH2); 3.26 (t, 2H, J=6.6, N-CH2); 1.89-1.69 (m, 4H).

Can anyone tell me what this could possibly mean?
Sorry I cannot give more context than that. It appears like this every time in the document.
Thanks,

Explanation:
This explains the form of the band (all the nice peaks and bumps you can see on the print-out) you get in a chromatography of the product and is often just given as br (same in English and German).

Sorry, of course it\'s less a form than a shape.

Explanation:
No idea why, but s-broad can be found in English texts dealing with similar chemicals, and the authors can't all be misled Germans...
