Abstract
The invention relates to the use of collagen as solid binding substrate for a sensor called ligand or refining agent, capable of reacting specifically with an element to be detected in a biological medium, to form a specific complex. Preferably, the solid substrate comprises atelocollagen or a mixture of atelocollagen and of polyholoside. The invention thus makes it possible to provide a biological reactant of high specificity and of which the constituents are of natural origin. It can be used easily and quickly.
