The invention relates to a microfluidic system based on active control of flow resistance and balancing pressures in microfluidic channels and an improved method for enhancing reactions with magnetic beads used in disposable microfluidic devices and cartridges for use in, but not limited to, in-vitro diagnostics. The microfluidic system and device of the invention does not utilize mechanical moving parts to control the fluid flow and has no external fluidic connection to the instrument or fluidics controller. The microfluidic system and device combines magnetic control over the movement of magnetic detection beads with electric field and convective enhancement of the movement of analytes and/or or reagentss surrounding the magnetic detection beads, thereby enabling movement of magnetic beads and analytes in the same direction or in different directions. The present invention thereby provides significantly enhanced interactions between analytes and/or reagents with the magnetic beads, which yields higher sensitivity for detection.

A full continuous flow preparation method of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine. A mixed solution of cyanoacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide and a catalyst is mixed with phosphorus oxychloride in a first micro-mixer, and then the reaction mixture undergoes continuous flow reaction in a microchannel reactor to obtain (dimethylaminomethylene) malononitrile. The reaction mixture is subjected to continuous quenching, extraction and separation, and the organic phase is concentrated, mixed with a methanol solution, and then reacted with an organic base to obtain 2-methyl-4-amino-5-cyanopyrimidine. After the mixed liquid is continuously filtered, the filter cake is dissolved in methanol, mixed with hydrogen in a second micro-mixer, and then transported to a fixed-bed reactor for hydrogenation reaction. The products are concentrated, dried and purified to obtain the desired 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine.
