Where QST sells

Qingdao Saber Technology Pharmaceutical sells from its own storefront. The link is marked nofollow and sponsored: it exists so the figures on this scorecard can be read against what the supplier itself publishes. The index is paid nothing for it and a link is not an assessment.

Every figure above describes lots the index has seen. It says nothing about the lot you are offered, and the only check that does is the one on the certificate against the vial.

Identification

Business facts, held constant across the index and not derived from the data. The index sells nothing and takes no supplier payment for placement; the storefront link below is marked nofollow and sponsored so a record can be checked against the seller, and is not a recommendation.

Dispatch and regional stock

Counted from the chain-of-custody line on this supplier's own records, which names the route each vial travelled to the laboratory, and from the on-record reviews below. The index has no sight of any supplier's warehouse network and publishes none.

Domestic-warehouse route 20.0% n=20
Retail, shipped to the buyer 60.0% n=20
Direct to the laboratory 20.0% n=20
Median courier leg, direct despatch 9d n=4
Route to the laboratoryRecordsShare
Domestic warehouse despatch420.0%
Retail purchase, shipped to the buyer945.0%
Retail purchase via a third-party forwarder315.0%
Supplier despatch direct to the laboratory420.0%

Every record here carries a chain-of-custody line and that line names the route the vial travelled. Of the 20 QST records the index holds, 4 reached the contributing laboratory from a domestic warehouse rather than as a cross-border consignment, covering 2 of the 4 compounds QST is represented by here — NAD+, GHRP-6. Those are the QST lines this index has actually seen arrive from regional stock, and they are a count of consignments rather than a stock listing: a line missing from them may simply never have been submitted for assay.

No contributor to this index has named a regional stock location for QST. 4 of its records nevertheless arrived by a domestic-warehouse route, so stock is held somewhere; the index does not know where and will not guess.

The index measures nothing about lead time — it assays material, it does not buy it. What it has is QST's own reviewers: 6 of the 26 on-record reviews state a quoted window and what happened against it, and 1 of them describes same-day dispatch. Where QST despatched a sample direct to a laboratory, the courier leg ran a median 9 days across 4 such consignments — that is a transit time the index can see, and it is not the same thing as a lead time. The reviews are reproduced in full in Block 11.

Headline statistics

Each figure carries the n it was computed from. The n= badge next to a statistic is the number of records it was computed from. Below n=8 the badge is amber. Below n=3 the statistic is suppressed and the individual values are shown instead.

Figure 1. Purity distribution for all 20 QST records carrying a purity figure. Domain fixed at 92–100 % area and bin width 0.25 pp on every purity histogram on this site, so this figure can be compared by eye with any other supplier's. Dashed line is the QST median, 98.17 %; the index median is 99.08 %.
Block 3

Reproducibility across independent tests of one lot

Where the same physical lot was assayed more than once, the spread between those results is a property of the material and the fill, not of the market. It is the rarest and most informative statistic on this page, and it exists only for lots someone tested twice.

Median within-batch spread suppressed n=2 n<3 — see individual records
Index median spread 0.67pp n=28
Lots tested 3+ times 2 n=4

Fewer than three QST lots have been assayed three or more times, so a reproducibility figure is not computed. Reproducibility cannot be inferred from the number of reports — it needs repeats on the same lot.

Block 4

Supplier certificate against independent measurement

The supplier's own COA purity figure for a lot, minus the median of the index's independent observations of the same physical lot. Positive means the certificate reads higher than the measurement. Rule AX-R05 fires above 1.5 pp.

Divergences in the supplier's favour 50% n=4
Divergences beyond 1 pp 0% n=4
Block 5

Provenance — where the tested material came from

Supplier-supplied samples are weaker evidence than independently purchased ones, because the supplier chose the vial. The index measures the size of that effect rather than assuming it.

Figure 2. QST purity by sample provenance. Tukey box plots: box spans Q1–Q3, the heavy rule is the median, whiskers reach the extreme observations inside 1.5 IQR of the box, and points outside the fences are plotted individually. The vertical line is the QST overall median. Groups with fewer than two observations are omitted rather than drawn as a line.

Documentation completeness

The score is not an opinion about paperwork. Each component is the share of QST batches in the index whose certificate carries that field, weighted as set out on the scoring rubric.

Coverage by compound

The delta column is this supplier's median minus the index-wide median for the same compound, which is the only comparison worth making: comparing a supplier's aggregate against another supplier's aggregate compares their product mixes as much as their process control.

Quarterly trend

Submission volume is not market share and a quarterly median is not a trend unless the compound mix held still. Both caveats apply to every row below.

Median purity by quarter

Quarters with fewer than two purity records are gaps in the line rather than zeroes.

Coverage growth

Records added per quarter. Growth here is index coverage, not supplier volume.

Which laboratory produced these numbers

Laboratories disagree with each other by a measured amount. A supplier tested mostly by one laboratory carries that laboratory's offset in its aggregate, and the adjusted column removes it.

On-the-record reviews 26

Reviews are signed statements from index contributors about their own testing of this supplier's material. They are opinions attached to evidence, and they are not used in any statistic on this page.

88.0/ 100363 ratings across the index network
n.abubakar98/100

Two lots ordered deliberately for comparison. Reported purities 0.1 points apart.

h.moreau97/100

Labelling printed, lot and date legible on every unit examined. Figures as reported by the named service. Not reproduced by the index.

an.amankwah95/100

Purity by RP-HPLC, wavelength stated, stability-indicating method named. Determination is reproducible from the certificate alone. Quoted lead time from regional stock met to the day, and the price held for the quoted validity period.

l.haddad99/100

Line quoted that three comparable suppliers declined to quote. Material returned within specification. Documentation practice, not a single purity figure, is the substance here.

k.wojcik100/100

Phase-change pack solid on arrival and the cake intact. Cold chain held for the whole transit.

i.lindholm96/100

Direct-supply material 98.0%. Intermediary vial, same nominal description, 97.7%. Desiccant enclosed within the secondary container.

b.mwangi99/100

Cross-check: Janoshik and VendorInvestigate, same lot, agreement to 0.1 points. Both agree with the declared figure. Evidence base adequate for a rating on this criterion.

t.lindholm98/100

Supplementary certificate for a lot released 12 months earlier retrieved from supplier records on request.

w.sorensen96/100

Repeat determination at 8 months: 97.4%. Original: 97.4%. No drift detected in this sample. Submitted to the index in full.

v.abubakar95/100

Custom synthesis delivered 3 days inside the quoted schedule at the specified purity.

t.cardoso97/100

Packing: a cold pack that was still solid when the box was opened.

c.lindholm98/100

11 orders, 10 months. No substitution, no reformulation, no post-payment unavailability. Desiccant enclosed within the secondary container.

si.cabrera95/100

Retention time assigned to the principal peak, printed. Signature and release date present.

a.antonsen100/100

Quote correct at first issue and held to invoice. Documentation complete at first issue. Independent verification of individual lots still required.

h.beaulieu96/100

Transit 3 days from stock held in the United Kingdom against a quoted 3. Customs documentation correct at first presentation. Freight and documentation quoted separately from material cost, itemised on the invoice as quoted. Not medical advice.

s.correia100/100

Five orders, tracking live and accurate on each. No excipient. Cake intact.

j.lindholm99/100

Single lot identifier across the whole consignment. Intra-consignment comparison valid. Contributor declares no interest beyond the transaction.

k.varga95/100

Batch record supplied in full on request, attached rather than summarised.

c.danquah100/100

Labels printed square, lot code legible and matching the paperwork on every unit. Record covers the lots named. Not generalised.

f.frisk96/100

Consistency: 3 lots, purity band under 1.0 points wide. No further comment.

a.boateng99/100

Fill uniformity: 7 units weighed against declared fill, all within 2%. Per-milligram figure calculated against the certificate rather than against nominal fill, and it reconciled.

r.kimani98/100

Counter-ion identity and content answered quantitatively, one working day. No excipient. Cake intact.

e.almeida100/100

Quote correct at first issue and held to invoice. Declared and independent figures differ by less than repeatability. Submitted to the index in full.

d.radich96/100

Published stock status matched availability. Same-day dispatch.

ru.villalobos98/100

Lot QST-25-641 submitted to Janoshik. Declared 98.6%, reported 99.0%. Delta inside method repeatability. Signature and release date present.

Contributor annotations on QST records 18

Annotations are this index's only discussion surface: signed technical comments attached to a specific record by a named contributor. They are not moderated for agreement with the index's own arithmetic. The most recent on QST material are below, each linked to the record it sits on.

Matrix occupancy on this compound is low. Every additional record moves the median visibly, which is the definition of a cell that should not be quoted.
Efficiency is the lever that does not change selectivity, so it improves resolution without moving anything else. Longer column, smaller particle, or lower flow, in that order of cost.
A reference standard on the same sequence would upgrade this from a good mass to a traceable one. The distinction matters where a result is going to be cited rather than merely read.
Deamidation is time, temperature and sequence. If the deamidated species is prominent here, the manufacture date on lot QST-2508-M5445 against the assay date above is the first arithmetic to do.
The actionable statistic for a buyer is not the median but the tenth percentile — how bad a bad lot is. This record is a data point for that percentile and it is worth more to the index than another result at the top.
Every named impurity on this record has a mass defect consistent with its structural assignment. That is the check that distinguishes an assignment from a guess.
Mass, retention and impurity profile all agree on this record. Three independent constraints pointing the same way is the strongest identity evidence the index publishes.
Research use does not require an endotoxin figure and most research use is not affected by one. The applications that are affected are affected badly.

Every annotation the index holds on QST material sits on its own record; the full set is reachable from the record listing and from each contributor's page. To read them against what QST itself publishes, open qingdaosabertechnology.com → alongside.

Where to buy QST

Qingdao Saber Technology Pharmaceutical sells direct from qingdaosabertechnology.com. Everything on this page describes lots the index has already seen; the certificate that matters is the one that arrives with the vial you order, and the lot code on it should match the vial. Ask for the lot-specific document rather than the batch-level summary, and ask for the integration report if you intend to reconcile the figure yourself.
