The invention relates to a device for combining two components. A first container(1) accommodates the first component, which is liquid, and a second container(2) accommodates a second, solid or liquid component under negative pressure.A body (5) is provided with a first holder (6) for the first container (1), in theregion of the closure of the latter, and with a second holder (6) for the secondcontainer (2), in the region of the closure of the latter. Displaceable means(8, 22; 9, 23) for piercing the closures are provided within the body. In the caseof such a device, the invention provides that the body has two slides (8, 9) mountedin a displaceable manner in it, wherein each slide (8; 9) accommodates a cannula(22; 23) for piercing the respective closure, the cannulas are connected, inthe region of their ends (24) directed away from the closure, to an element (27)which connects the cannulas in a liquid-tight manner, and actuating means (16)are provided for moving the slides in the direction of the closures for the purposeof piercing the closures.
