The effect of the concentration of glutaraldehyde, which has the ability to crosslink collagen type I molecules, on its stability, mechanical strength, and cytotoxicity was studied. It is shown that under physiological conditions, collagen containing 10 and 18% glutaraldehyde possesses the greatest stability. The results of the rheological analysis showed that with a minimum concentration of glutaraldehyde (1%), the mechanical characteristics of collagen hydrogels are significantly improved. However, a concentration of glutaraldehyde above 10% reduces cell viability by 50%.
