Corrected entry: In the scene where Sonny is to be "killed", the professor says that it is done by microscopic robots, nanites. However, you can see them swimming in the fluid. How can this be if they are microscopic?
Correction: The things we see may be swarms of the robots swimming together to make something large enough to be seen. They would probably be programmed to do this so that someone could tell at a glance if the cylinder contains the nanites, and that they are in fact active.

Correction: Actually if future forensic science has progressed enough, it should only take about 5 minutes to extract every possible piece of evidence from such a small item, meaning that letting someone touch it without protective gloves (especially a detective) wouldn't be a problem.
