An immunoassay for estrone (E 1 ) in women's serum, based on the competitive reaction between fluorescein‐labeled complete antigen and E 1 with limited amount of anti‐estrone monoclonal antibody is described. A thermally reversible hydrogel, poly‐ N ‐isopropylacrylamide (pNIPA), was added to the buffer to improve the reproducibility. With a laser‐induced fluorescence (LIF) detector, the capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) can be applied to determine E 1 at a concentration lower than 19.6 pg/mL. The E 1 levels in ten normal women's serum were measured at the range of 118.6–222.0 pg/mL.
