Systems, devices, and methods are provided that facilitate synthesis and analysis of chemical compounds on a convenient and automatable palette-based platform. Palettes utilized for analysis support a variety of functional sites, including test wells, separation devices, and test sites that have rapid thermal equilibration, on a single test fixture. This permits both the performance of a wide variety of tests and of tests with different temperature requirements or responses in parallel, on the same test fixture. Such systems, devices, and methods are particularly suitable for production and characterization of radiopharmaceuticals.
