Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for volatile object transport. An example volatile object transport container includes a viewport assembly, a target container housing configured to accommodate clamp assemblies affixable to a volatile object, and a sealing member positioned between the viewport assembly and the target container housing. The sealing member is configured to provide an air-tight seal within an interior cavity of the volatile object transport container when the viewport assembly and target container housing are affixed to one another.
Claims16
A volatile object transport container, comprising:
- a viewport assembly;
- a target container housing configured to accommodate a plurality of clamp assemblies affixable to a volatile object, wherein the plurality of clamp assemblies are (i) affixed to the volatile object via a plurality of horizontal holes in a perimeter of the volatile object and (ii) affixed to the target container housing via a plurality of vertical holes in a first surface of the target container housing;
- and
- a sealing member positioned between the viewport assembly and the target container housing, wherein the sealing member is configured to provide an air-tight seal within an interior cavity of the volatile object transport container when the viewport assembly and target container housing are affixed to one another.
A method of storing a volatile object in a volatile object transport container, the method comprising:
- affixing a plurality of clamp assemblies to the volatile object via a plurality of horizontal holes in a perimeter of the volatile object;
- affixing the plurality of clamp assemblies to a target container housing of the volatile object transport container via a plurality of vertical holes in a first surface of the target container housing;
- placing a sealing member around a perimeter of the target container housing such that the sealing member is free from contact with the volatile object;
- placing a viewport assembly of the volatile object transport container onto the sealing member;
- and
- sealing the volatile object transport container using mechanical forces such that the volatile object is free from contamination within the volatile object transport container due to an air-tight seal.
