By use of the high separation capability of capillary electrophoresis (CE) and ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) detection, a CE–CL method was proposed for the ultrasensitive determination of trace cobalt in a single hair, which is potentially useful in construction of the fingerprint of trace elements in the hair collected from crime scenes. In this work, the CE experimental conditions, CL experimental conditions and the digestion methods for the analysis of a single hair sample for cobalt were investigated in detail. The relative limit of detection (LOD, 3σ) was 0.01 ng/mL, and the absolute LOD was 2.4 × 10− 16 g considering the sampling volume of 24 nL. Using a dry digestion method, the analytical results for certified reference hair samples by the proposed method were in good agreement with the certified values. Finally, this method was successfully used to detect trace cobalt in a single hair from three adults. It has potential applications in forensic analysis.
