The first screw is a right-hand screw that can rotate about the first rod in a first direction. A second screw having a second rod and a second helical thread is coupled to the chamber. The second rod is situated approximately parallel to the first rod. The second screw is a left-hand screw that can rotate about the second rod in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first helical thread and the second helical thread are positioned to support an object. The first screw and the second screw can continuously move the object in a direction approximately parallel to the first screw through the sterilizing agent to substantially sterilize the object.
