An open source photoreactor platfrom. 3D printed enclosure, commercially avaliable components, and a little bit of custom circuitry.
This is an open source hardware project licensed under the CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Permissive. Please see the LICENSE file for the complete license.
This repository is being mirrored to several version control systems in an attempt to ensure maximum avaliability.
The Wisconsin Photoreactor is for use by trained chemistry researchers and should be handled carefully.
WPP apparatuses utilize high-intensity light emitting diodes (LED) that can cause eye damage if proper safety precautions are not observed. Light-filtering safety glasses should be worn whenever a WPP apparatus photon source is powered. Care must be taken to use safety glasses protective against the specific emission wavelengths of a photon source.
This repository contains detailed instructions for fabrication, operation and documentation of WPP devices. Please see wpp-assembly.pdf
The WPP is designed around a mechanically robust 3D printed enclosure.
Every WPP device has the same base, see directory photoreactor-base.
WPP reaction modules are meant to be switched based on the reaction vessel used.
See directory photoreactor-tops for our growing collection of reaction modules for common vessel types.
The WPP incorporates small custom circuit boards providing control over light intensity and fan speed. Please see the fabrication instructions for more detailed information.
