3.2.2. Collagen-based biosensor:
Marine collagen is reported to be non-toxic, environmental friendly, low
inflammatory response and biocompatible. There are many reports of
marine collagen biomaterial in tissue engineering, though there is a
scarcity of data on the marine collagen-based biosensor.
Zong et al. (2006) reported a biosensor using chrome waste from leather
waste in a tannery. The collagen grafted biosensor which has been
discovered is found to be biocompatible, thermally stable, highly
sensitive, and with improved selectivity. Due to the advantages offered
by hybrid collagen, zirconia nanoparticles collagen composite was
reported to prepare amperometric glucose biosensors.
