The Wisconsin Photoreactor is for use by trained chemistry researchers and should be handled carefully.
-The Wisconsin Photoreactor platform utilizes high-intensity LEDs which can cause eye damage if looked at directly.
-Light-filtering safety glasses should be worn whenever the photoreactor light source is powered on.
-LEDs emitting different colors will require different types of light-filtering safety glasses for protection.
-Extra precuation should be taken around ultra-violet and near infra-red light sources emitting "invisible" light.
+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.
-## Assembly Instructions
+## Frabication and Operation Instructions
-This repository contains detailed assembly instructions.
-Please see [wpr-assembly.pdf](./assembly-instructions/wpr-assembly.pdf)
+This repository contains detailed instructions for fabrication, operation and documentation of WPP devices.
+Please see [wpp-assembly.pdf](./assembly-instructions/wpp-assembly.pdf)
## Enclosure
-The WPR is designed around a mechanically robust 3D printed enclosure.
-Every WPR has the same base, see directory `photoreactor-base`.
-The WPR top is meant to be switched based on the reaction vessel used.
-See directory `photoreactor-tops` for our ever-growing collection of vessel types.

+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.
## Electronics
-The WPR incorporates small custom circuit boards controlling the LEDs and fan.
