Abbreviation for Limit of Quantification. The lowest concentration of a specific compound, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, or contaminants, that can be accurately measured and quantified with reliability by a laboratory testing method. Unlike the Limit of Detection (LOD), which identifies the presence of a compound, the LOQ ensures that the amount present can be measured with a high degree of precision and accuracy.
