1. A drug mixing system comprising:
- a housing comprising a first and second chamber, wherein the first chamber is configured to store a wet component;
a movable body disposed between the first and second chambers, the movable body further comprising;
a fluidic channel being disposed therein and configured to allow fluid communication between the first and second chamber; and
a dry medicament being contained within the fluidic channel; and
an actuation device configured to cause a portion of the movable body to enter a portion of the first and second chambers, the entrance of the movable body into a portion of the first and second chambers creating fluid communication between the fluidic channel and the first and second chambers, thereby forcing a portion of the wet component from the first chamber through the fluidic channel into the second chamber.
