Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus having a slidably disposed tray enabling the insertion of a contaminated object into and the removal of the same object after decontamination from the apparatus. In preferred embodiments, a handle is attached to the slidable tray allowing the user to manually extend and retract the receptacle from the apparatus. In alternate embodiments, the receptacle is mechanically extended and retracted via a motor. A switch is fixed to the apparatus thereby contacting the receptacle so as to activate and deactivating lamps based on the position of the tray. Germicidal and thermal lamp are provided to neutralize chemical agents and biological organisms adhered to an object. In alternate embodiments, lamp energy is redirected onto an object via one or more contoured reflectors.
