A mixing capsule (1) comprising a first chamber (2) to receive a composition A and a second chamber (3) to receive a composition B, the first chamber (2) and the second chamber (3) being arranged rotatably about a longitudinal axis (5) of the mixing capsule (1), the first chamber (2) comprising a first opening (25), the second chamber (3) comprising a second opening (26), the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (5) and faced to each other as well as plan-parallelly to each other and perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged incongruently to each other in a storage position (4), the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged congruently to each other in a handling position (6), the mixing capsule (1) comprising a first housing (18) and a second housing (19),
- the first housing (18) comprising a first pipe section (20) and a first tapered pedestal (21), the second housing (19) comprising a second pipe section (23) and a second tapered pedestal (24), the first chamber (2) being arranged within the first pipe section (20), the second chamber (3) being arranged within the second pipe section (23), the first housing (18) and the second housing (19) being mounted rotatably to each other about the longitudinal axis being parallel to the first pipe section (20) and the second pipe section (23), and the longitudinal axis being arranged between the first pipe section (20) and the second pipe section (23) and between or in the first tapered pedestal (23) and in the second tapered pedestal (24),
- wherein the first tapered and second tapered pedestals (21, 24) of the first and second housing (18, 19) are adapted to form an engageable handle-like form (12) by rotation about the longitudinal axis, wherein the first chamber (2) has a connection geometry (8) at its side averting the second chamber (3) being adapted to receive a nozzle (10) having a piston section (10a) having a centrally situated cannula (9), the cannula being formed for communicating with a common mixing chamber (7) at its side facing the common mixing chamber (7) and communicating with an environment at its side averting the common mixing chamber (7), and wherein the common mixing chamber (7) is reducible in respect of its volume by the nozzle (10) having the piston section (10a), having the centrally situated cannula (9), to penetrate a membrane of the common mixing chamber (7), wherein the means (10b) to penetrate the membrane is displaceably introducible into the first chamber (2) parallelly to the longitudinal axis (5), wherein a membrane at the side of the first chamber (2) averting the second chamber (3) is penetrated at first, and
- wherein the second chamber (3) comprises a second connection geometry (27) at its side averting the first chamber (2) being adapted to receive a piston (11) having a lumen to receive a press-in piston (28) of a PLT applicator (15), the piston (11) having a lumen to receive a press-in piston (28) of a PLT applicator (15) being mounted displaceably parallelly to the longitudinal axis (5), the common mixing chamber (7) being reducible in respect of its volume when the piston (11) is being displaced parallelly to the longitudinal axis (5) in the direction of the common mixing chamber (7).
