A cartridge for holding a first and a second fluid including an outer capsule containing the first fluid and having a first end and a second end. An inner capsule is enclosed within the outer capsule and is positioned such that while the outer capsule is in a first position the inner capsule is positioned in a generally spaced apart relationship from the first end and the second end of the outer capsule. The inner capsule contains the second fluid. At least one spike is positioned on at least one of the first end and the second end of the outer capsule. The at least one spike is attached to an inner surface of the outer capsule and is oriented toward the inner capsule for piercing the inner capsule when the outer capsule is deformed. Wherein the outer capsule is deformable into a second position permitting the at least one spike to penetrate the inner capsule allowing the first fluid and the second fluid to mix. A base for the cartridge and a system including the cartridge and the base is also detailed herein.

1. A cartridge for holding a first and a second fluid, comprising:an outer capsule containing the first fluid and having a first end and a second end; an inner capsule formed by a closed surface, enclosed within the outer capsule and positioned such that while the outer capsule is in a first position the inner capsule is positioned in a generally spaced apart relationship from the first end and the second end of the outer capsule, the inner capsule containing the second fluid, the closed surface having a substantially uniform outwardly directed surface positive pressure generated by the second fluid; at least one spike positioned on at least one of the first end and the second end of the outer capsule, the at least one spike being attached to an inner surface of the outer capsule and oriented toward the inner capsule for piercing the inner capsule when the outer capsule is deformed; wherein the outer capsule is deformable into a second position permitting the at least one spike to penetrate the inner capsule allowing the first fluid and the second fluid to mix.
