  • biologically or chemically active substances such as antibodies, enzymes, etc.
  • compositions in order to render these compositions durable and to ensure sufficient biological activity over an acceptable period of time, they are usually provided as dry powders, for example by methods such as spray drying, bulk crystallization, vacuum drying, foam drying or lyophilization.
  • spray drying bulk crystallization
  • vacuum drying vacuum drying
  • foam drying or lyophilization.
  • the user prepares the liquid reagent by mixing the dried substance with a suitable liquid reconstitution agent.
  • the DE 10011502 A1 describes a closure element for a reaction vessel.
  • This closure element has a reservoir with a solid mixture, which is needed in a reaction.
  • the solid mixture is mixed with the liquid sample contained in the reaction vessel.
  • this device has the disadvantage that during mixing of the two components always a part of the solid mixture can remain in the reservoir, resulting in Differences in the concentration of the solid mixture in the sample can lead.
  • a spike known with the help of which liquid under pressure, in an ampoule containing a substance, can be introduced, without causing foaming.
  • This spike is particularly intended for reconstitution of a lyophilized drug and thus designed so that only a minimum of reconstituted drug remains in the vial.
  • the thorn has the disadvantage that the device in which he is in the WO 02102295 A2 Use is very complex and difficult to use.
  • the EP-A1-0373016 describes a device for storing and / or dosing a solvent in which a container containing a solvent is attached to a vessel by means of a flexible spacer having a double membrane.
  • the double membrane is pierced by means of a pin when a pressure force is applied to the device which compresses the flexible intermediate piece and the solvent can pass from the container into the vessel.
  • WO 2007020239 A1 the structure of a container with two chambers for storage and combination of a solid lyophilisate and a reconstitution agent explained.
  • the container includes a plug which separates the two chambers in the initial state. If the reconstitution is to take place, the plug is maneuvered into a recess in the container wall, creating a connection between the two chambers, which allows the reconstitution of the lyophilisate. Nevertheless, the plug is always in the way during the reconstitution reaction, so that the reaction can be comparatively tedious. In addition, there is no guarantee that the content of the two chambers will be completely mixed.
  • a device would be of great advantage, allowing the mixing of a substance, preferably a dry powder, with a liquid medium to proceed rapidly, completely and without the use of additional aids, so that the substance subsequently has a defined concentration in the liquid medium is present.
