Claim 3:
4. A method of forming a nano-structured aluminum oxide construct, comprising the steps of:
preparing a doped chelant solution including a lanthanide;
anodizing an aluminum plate in an anodizing solution that includes the doped chelant solution to form an aluminum oxide film having nanopores defining open spaces in the aluminum oxide film, wherein the lanthanide is embedded in the aluminum oxide film so that the lanthanide is incorporated into the aluminum oxide film and not contained in the open spaces of nanopores; and
binding an antibody, an antigen, a nucleotide, an oligopeptide, a fusion protein, or a biological molecule or fluorescent tagged versions of the antibody, the antigen, the nucleotide, the oligopeptide, the fusion protein, or the biological molecule to the aluminum oxide film.
