Microfluidic platform and associated setup for monitoring the ageing and/or degradation of a material of interest in a simulated medium

A microfluidic platform for monitoring the degradation and/or the ageing of a material of interest in a simulated medium, including:

• a microfluidic chip delimited by two plates stacked one on the other and delimiting a fluid circuit including:
• an inlet microfluidic channel,
• a microfluidic chamber connected on the downstream side to the inlet microfluidic channel and including a housing for the material of interest,
• a microfluidic outlet channel connected on the downstream side to the microfluidic chamber;
• a package including:
• two blocks at least one of which includes a cavity the two blocks being assembled together to house the microfluidic chip in sealed manner,
• a fluidic inlet through which a fluid is intended to be injected and which is connected on the upstream side to the inlet microfluidic channel when the microfluidic chip is housed in the package,
• a fluidic outlet by which the fluid is intended to be evacuated and which is connected on the downstream side to the outlet microfluidic channel when the microfluidic chip is housed in the package.
