Dr. Holger Becker is co-founder and CSO of microfluidic ChipShop GmbH. He obtained physics degrees from the University of Western Australia/Perth and the University of Heidelberg. He started to work on miniaturized systems for chemical analysis during his PhD-thesis at Heidelberg university, where he obtained his PhD in 1995. Between 1995 and 1997 he was a Research Associate at Imperial College with Prof. Andreas Manz. In 1998 he joined Jenoptik Mikrotechnik GmbH. Since then, he founded and led several companies in the field of microsystem technologies in medicine and the life sciences. He lead the Industry Group of the German Physical Society between 2004 and 2009 and is Conference Chair for the SPIE "Microfluidics, BioMEMS and Medical Microsystems" conference as well as acting as regular reviewer of project proposals on national and EU level and for several journals devoted to microsystem technologies.

An attractive approach for cartridge-based solutions for point-of-care diagnostics is a system which is capable of performing a broad range of diagnostic assays such as molecular diagnostic, immunodiagnostic and clinical assays with a single system, comprising one instrument and a family of microfluidics-enabled cartridges for the different disease cases. In this paper, we will present such a system and introduce the principles of the microfluidic cartridge architecture as well as different technical solutions ranging from sample prep of complex samples like sputum, nucleic acid extraction to cartridge-based amplification methods and technologies for on-cartridge valveing and reagent storage. Examples for different types of assays will be given.
