A Virus capsule is a device which captures a fully active, fully aware Virus for further study. There are no standard virus capsules, each one is purpose built to capture a Virus which has already been studied.

A virus capsule is a virtual reality simulator for a virus. The capsule appears to the virus inside of it to be the operating system of a starship, and even gives false feedback to the virus occupying it to convince it that it was in a ship that had just taken off. This very sophisticated device can only be fashioned when there is a great deal of information about the virus which will occupy it.
