Claim 18:
19. The microfluidic cell culture chip according to claim 18, wherein said upper unit of said upper module and said central unit of said central module are assembled, such that said solid surface defining the open volume of said upper unit is positioned above said upper face of the 3D nanostructured porous membrane of said central unit, to form a closed space, delimited by said solid surface of said upper unit and said upper face of the 3D nanostructured porous membrane,
said solid surface and said upper face having an identical shape and an identical surface to one another,
said upper unit of said upper module and said central unit of said central module being assembled by attachment elements situated on each of the bases of the upper module and of the central module, so as to assemble, in a sealed manner, said solid surface defining the open volume of said upper unit and said upper face of the 3D nanostructured porous membrane of said central unit, and
said solid surface defining the open volume of said upper unit has two orifices respectively leading to an inlet/outlet duct, making it possible for said closed space to communicate with an outside of said chip via said inlet/outlet ducts which lead to the outside of the base.
