Core Tip	In this study, the methodological quality of a new research-use-only multiplex magnetic bead assay, particularly designed for cancer diagnosis, was evaluated. This attractive panel includes 24 biomarkers: established as well as auspicious tumor markers and markers deriving from the fields of apoptosis, immunology and angiogenesis. Herewith, the complexity and multifactorial background of a cancer disease is depicted. Measurements were performed with physiological serum pools and intra- and inter-assay imprecision as well as dilution linearity were assessed. Furthermore, the influence of preanalytical factors was investigated.
