Upon the addition of tetracycline (TC), a noticeable shift from blue emission to greenish-yellow emission occurred, with a marked increase in intensity, which was attributed to the inner filter effect accompanied by aggregation-induced emission (IFE-AIE). Consequently, ratiometric-based fluorometry (in solution) and color tonality visual detection platform (on paper) were developed, exploiting the dual-state property of UoZ-8 alone and UoZ-8:TC. The detection limit using the ratiometric-based fluorescence method was 3.8 nM, while on paper it was 3.5 µM.

Firstly, Au<sub>5</sub>Pt is prepared by reduction of chloroauric acid and chloroplatinic acid with serine-functionalized graphene quantum dot (SGQD). The resulting Au<sub>5</sub>Pt shows an excellent catalytic activity because of the synergy of Au and Pt. Then, Au<sub>5</sub>Pt is covalently combined with hairpin DNA and thionine molecule to form a redox probe. The probe was used for construction of the ampicillin biosensor coupling with DNA cycling. In the presence of ampicillin, the DNA cycle was triggered and leads to many redox probes being carried to the biosensor. This produces a significant signal amplification by oxidation and reduction of thionine molecules in these probes. The combination of Au<sub>5</sub>Pt catalysis with DNA cycle achieve ultrahigh sensitivity, selectivity, and stability for the electrochemical detection of ampicillin.
