QST — Qingdao Saber Technology Pharmaceutical
Qingdao, CN · established 2017. The index holds 20 assay reports across 4 batches and 4 compounds, contributed by 6 laboratories. Every figure below is computed from those records and from nothing else.
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.
| Route to the laboratory | Records | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic warehouse despatch | 4 | 20.0% |
| Retail purchase, shipped to the buyer | 9 | 45.0% |
| Retail purchase via a third-party forwarder | 3 | 15.0% |
| Supplier despatch direct to the laboratory | 4 | 20.0% |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
| Certificate field | Batches carrying it | Rubric weight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity figure stated | 100% | 25 points | |
| Analytical method stated (column, gradient, wavelength) | 75% | 25 points | |
| Peptide content stated | 0% | 20 points | |
| Endotoxin stated | 75% | 15 points | |
| Named impurities rather than a total | 15% | 15 points |
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.
| Compound | Class | Reports | Median % | Index median % | Δ (pp) | Index spec | Pass % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide | Incretin | 11 | 98.40 | 98.55 | -0.15 | 97.0 | 100 |
| NAD+ | Non-peptide | 7 n=7 | 98.06 | 99.28 | -1.22 | 97.0 | 100 |
| MOTS-c | Metabolic | 1 n=1 | n<3 | 99.13 | — | 98.0 | 100 |
| GHRP-6 | Growth-hormone | 1 n=1 | n<3 | 99.54 | — | 99.0 | 0 |

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.
| Laboratory | Reports | Median purity | Lab bias (pp) | Bias-adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Janoshik | 9 | 98.17 | +0.00 | 98.17 |
| PeptideMeter | 3 | 97.61 | -0.05 | 97.66 |
| Medutest | 2 | n<3 | +0.08 | — |
| VendorInvestigate | 1 | n<3 | -0.11 | — |
| Nordanalyt | 3 | 98.40 | +0.02 | 98.38 |
| Kestrel | 2 | n<3 | +0.24 | — |
Bias figures are estimated from paired same-lot comparisons and are published with their confidence intervals on inter-lab agreement.
What this data does and does not show
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.
Labelling printed, lot and date legible on every unit examined. Figures as reported by the named service. Not reproduced by the index.
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.
Line quoted that three comparable suppliers declined to quote. Material returned within specification. Documentation practice, not a single purity figure, is the substance here.
Phase-change pack solid on arrival and the cake intact. Cold chain held for the whole transit.
Direct-supply material 98.0%. Intermediary vial, same nominal description, 97.7%. Desiccant enclosed within the secondary container.
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.
Supplementary certificate for a lot released 12 months earlier retrieved from supplier records on request.
Repeat determination at 8 months: 97.4%. Original: 97.4%. No drift detected in this sample. Submitted to the index in full.
Custom synthesis delivered 3 days inside the quoted schedule at the specified purity.
Packing: a cold pack that was still solid when the box was opened.
11 orders, 10 months. No substitution, no reformulation, no post-payment unavailability. Desiccant enclosed within the secondary container.
Retention time assigned to the principal peak, printed. Signature and release date present.
Quote correct at first issue and held to invoice. Documentation complete at first issue. Independent verification of individual lots still required.
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.
Five orders, tracking live and accurate on each. No excipient. Cake intact.
Single lot identifier across the whole consignment. Intra-consignment comparison valid. Contributor declares no interest beyond the transaction.
Batch record supplied in full on request, attached rather than summarised.
Labels printed square, lot code legible and matching the paperwork on every unit. Record covers the lots named. Not generalised.
Consistency: 3 lots, purity band under 1.0 points wide. No further comment.
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.
Counter-ion identity and content answered quantitatively, one working day. No excipient. Cake intact.
Quote correct at first issue and held to invoice. Declared and independent figures differ by less than repeatability. Submitted to the index in full.
Published stock status matched availability. Same-day dispatch.
Lot QST-25-641 submitted to Janoshik. Declared 98.6%, reported 99.0%. Delta inside method repeatability. Signature and release date present.
Documentation complete at first issue. No supplementary request raised. Peptide content 99.3%.

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.
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.
