Photonic crystal sensing materials have been validated that they are very sensitive to refractive index changes. Herein, three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) (> 50 nm) TiO2 inverse opal film has been fabricated by the self-assembly technique. Based on the TiO2 inverse opal film, the optical spectrometer was established for label-free immunosensor. The sensing performance of the 3DOM 7102 was investigated using human IgG/goat antihuman IgG couple, which showed that the sensitivity of 3DOM TiO2 inverse opal film could reach to 1 mu g mL(-1) (equivalent to 1.5 pg mm(-2)) of protein concentration detection limit. The 3DOM TiO2 inverse opal has a large internal surface area, low fluorescence background and unique optical properties. These characteristics indicated the feasibility of 3DOM TiO2 inverse opal in label-free immunoassay. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
