Abstract: A device for storing and mixing materials including gases, liquids, solids, and semi-solids is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes an outer shell and a plurality of cartridges. The outer shell is preferably cylindrical, however, it may be any of a variety of shapes including box shaped. The outer shell has an opened interior space, used for storing mixable materials. The cartridges are preferably separately sealed vesicles encasing the mixable material within frangible membranes at both ends of the vesicle as well as separately encased mixable materials contained within the holder's inner surface and may include a capping membrane. Cartridges may be separated by a stop member which serves to create multiple mixing and storage areas for the cartridges. A plurality of such devices may be mounted on a perforated sheet for convenient storage and removal or distribution.
