In order to manage or transport the latter kind, you need '''Phlebotinum Handling Equipment'''. This be anything from [[Tricked-Out Gloves|simple gloves]] (or a [[Hazmat Suit]]) to avoid physical contact, specially marked containers to keep the material secure and prevent it from irradiating the surrounding areas, or specialized machinery used to handle the material remotely (especially if it there is a lot of it). Sometimes '''Phlebotinum Handling Equipment''' may itself run on a different kind of Phlebotinum, or provide effects that counter or neutralize the hazards presented by the Phlebotinum being handled. The specialized equipment may also be used to alter the material's [[States of Phlebotinum]] later.

== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* The purple goo in ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' used by Pete and Myka to neutralize artifacts.
* They used ordinary gloveboxes (see [[Real Life]]) in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' when studying alien pathogens and the like. This failed when they were studying a virus-like nanotechnology, which started eating through the gloves.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* [[wikipedia:Remote manipulator|Remote Manipulators]] (AKA "waldoes") are often used for this purpose.
* [[wikipedia:Glovebox|Gloveboxes]]
* Antimatter must be kept in a magnetic trap. For now this is just because the antimatter will be lost if it touches anything else but one day a mass large enough to be dangerous might be contained the same way.
 
== [[Toys]] ==
Line 44 ⟶ 40:
* On ''[[The Superhero Squad Show]]'', Infinity Fractals have to be held in containment units, as touching them can have completely random effects.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' has a box which holds an alternate universe, and later, contains the same universe that it is in.
