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.

Microfluidics has emerged as one of the crucial enabling technologies for POC diagnostics. The ability to integrated complex diagnostic assays, especially molecular diagnostic assays onto a single consumable has led to a dramatic growth of academic and commercial activities in this field. The big challenge however remains that such solutions in the past have typically been disease-specific, leading to the necessity to have a variety of different systems in a diagnostic lab. We present here a universal microfluidic-enabled POC platform which is capable of performing molecular diagnostic, immunodiagnostic and clinical assays with a single system. As demonstrator cases, a molecular assay for TB, an immunoassay for HIV and a clinical assay for ALT will be presented which all run on this single benchtop instrument platform.
