• A NSM–MEKC–MS approach using APFO has been developed for the separation of 12 estrogens. • All parameters were carefully optimized, obtaining the separation in less than 11min. • A DLLME procedure was optimized for the extraction of the analytes from water samples. • The DLLME–MEKC–MS method was validated by recovery and calibration studies. • The matrix effect was statistically evaluated obtaining evident positive results.
