Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for evaluating synthetic reactions such as polymer synthesis reactions. Evaluation of a synthetic reaction product can be based on a quantitative measure of synthesis such as coupling efficiency or yield, and various parameters determined from a separation record obtained for the synthetic reaction product. The invention further provides methods for evaluating a separation method based on various parameters determined from a separation record. The invention can be used to select an appropriate treatment for a synthetic reaction product such as a separation treatment or treatments related to further processing for the desired product. The methods are particularly useful for automated selection of treatments for synthetic reaction products.
