Cancer cells that have separated from the main tumor and entered bloodstream are known as circulating (CTCs). Once there, they may spread to other parts of body cause metastases. This work proposes a novel inertial-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) device designed for separation CTCs red blood (RBCs). The microchannel features rectangular zigzag segment combined with circular curved section, optimized improve efficiency by integrating inertial DEP forces. Numerical simulations conducted evaluate effects depth, applied voltage frequency, Reynolds number (Re) on trajectory cells. identify four optimal scenarios achieve 100% efficiency. Early cancer diagnosis treatment benefit use proposed CTC detection.
