Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ)
The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is the lowest amount of a cannabinoid in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with suitable precision and accuracy using the corresponding method and dilution rates. All values below this threshold are reported as NR – None Reported.
| Compound | Plant LLOQ (%,w/w) | High % Concentrate LLOQ (%,w/w) |
|---|---|---|
| Δ9-THC | 0.03 | 0.04 |
| Δ8-THC | 0.03 | 0.06 |
| Δ9-THCA | 0.03 | 0.06 |
| THCV | 0.03 | 0.04 |
| CBD | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBDA | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBDV | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBG | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBGA | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBN | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| CBC | 0.03 | 0.05 |
Reproducibility of results
Below are results of measuring a typical hemp sample, followed by an image of stacked 3 consecutive measurements. There are two observations from this measurement:
- The retention times are consistent and repeatable, giving the confidence in the ability to correctly identify the correct cannabinoids.
- The measured concentrations are very repeatable as indicated by height/area of each peak. The calculated relative standard deviation (RSD) in this case ranges from 1.19% to 1.70%, while for cannabinoids with very low concentrations manifested as very small peaks (in this sample CBN, d9-THC, and d9-THCA) the calculated RSD ranges from 4.62% to 5.63%. In case of need to further refine the latter 3 compounds and improve both accuracy and RSD, the sample would simply be less diluted resulting in higher peaks for these 3 compounds.

Hello Dusan,
Just wanted to give you a little update and let you know that I really like this tester! I ran quite a few tests, on all kinds of products and flower and the consistency of results is amazing. I show it off and brag about it to everyone in my community of medical patients and also to all my friends. 😊
Best wishes to you and your team!

Grant, New Zealand –
After 5 months of use, all is going really well with the instrument. Thank you.
Miguel, Spain –
After some hours playing with the machine now, it is easy to use, and fast, congrats for that.
Thanks and kind regards.
Miguel, Spain –
The official lab test has arrived just now. Same result as ours.
Good job Dusan. Good news to trust the analyzer 🙂
Julian, Canada –
The instrument got cannabinoids in the drink right on the nose. I am confident in the accuracy. Thanks for bringing it out and showing us how it works. It is etched into my memory.
Greg, Australia –
Hi Dusan,
Our company has recently purchased the HPLC system from CTI. It is working really well; I have had no problems using it.
I would like to thank you and all your team for creating such a great instrument.
