A rapid and sensitive flow injection chemiluminescence (FI–CL) method is described for the determination of 2‐methoxyestradiol (2ME) based on enhancement of the CL intensity from a potassium ferricyanide–calcein system in sodium hydroxide medium. The optimum conditions for the CL emission were investigated. Under optimized conditions, a linear calibration graph was obtained over the range 1.0 × 10 ‐8 to 1.0 × 10 ‐6 mol/L ( r = 0.998) 2ME with a detection limit (3σ) of 5.4 × 10 ‐9 mol/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 5.0 × 10 ‐7 mol/L 2ME was 1.7%. As a preliminary application, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of 2ME in injection solutions and serum samples. The possible CL mechanism was also proposed.
