Canister, originally conceived for remote sterilization of spacecraft packages, could be used terrestrially to handle samples in biologically hazardous environments. Multiwalled canister includes inner layer of pyrotechnic powder. For sterilization, electrically activated squib ignites powder, raising temperature of outer surface of canister to 230 degrees centigrade for several minutes. Thermal-buffer inner layer prevents inside temperature for exceeding 100 degrees centigrade to protect contents from damage. Samples in field hospitals and other emergency situations could also be handled by equipment.
