QST — on-the-record assessments
Signed assessments of the documentation examined, with the aggregate rating and its scope.
The Institute assesses documentation, not product. It has purchased nothing, tested nothing and inspected nothing. Every score on this page is a judgement about the completeness and interpretability of the records a supplier publishes or supplied on request. A high score means that a supplier documents its material well. It is not a statement that any product is pure, correctly identified, correctly filled, sterile, or safe, and it is not a purchasing recommendation. The Institute makes no purchasing recommendations.
§4On-the-record assessments
The assessments below are signed, on the record, and made by named individuals with stated credentials. Each concerns the documentation the assessor examined. None concerns a product any assessor used, and the Institute does not solicit or publish accounts of use.

- Documentation completeness and interpretability. Not product quality.
§4.2Published assessments
Related substances are itemised rather than given as a single total, which supports interpretation of the purity figure.
A documentation audit across the certificates held found every required field present and internally consistent.
Material for this assessment was supplied from the regional warehouse in the Netherlands; lot documentation matched that shipped from the manufacturing site.
Independent Janoshik results were obtainable for 8 distinct lots; concordance with the supplier certificate held throughout.
A stability statement tied to a stated storage condition was supplied for lot QST-25-497 without prompting.
Across 6 lots the reported purity band was 99.5 to 99.6%. Dispersion of that order indicates a controlled process.
Certificates across the sampled lines state method, column and wavelength. The requirement is met in full.
Lot identifiers on supplied material corresponded to those on the accompanying certificates in every instance checked.
Independent PeptideMeter results were obtainable for 3 distinct lots; concordance with the supplier certificate held throughout.
Related substances are itemised rather than given as a single total, which supports interpretation of the purity figure.
Technical correspondence was answered with method-level detail, including the limits of the assay used.
Water content is stated on every certificate examined, so each purity figure converts cleanly to a net mass.
Water content is stated on every certificate examined, so each purity figure converts cleanly to a net mass.
Material for this assessment was supplied from the regional warehouse in Germany; lot documentation matched that shipped from the manufacturing site.
Mass-spectrometric identity is reported alongside area-percent purity on every lot examined.
Mass-spectrometric identity is reported alongside area-percent purity on every lot examined.
Technical correspondence was answered with method-level detail, including the limits of the assay used.
Cold-chain handling was documented on dispatch and arrival temperature was within tolerance for the epithalon 10 mg line.
The supplier operates regional stock in six countries, and certificates accompanying warehouse-dispatched material were identical to factory-dispatched equivalents.

Cold-chain handling was documented on dispatch and arrival temperature was within tolerance for the tesamorelin 2 mg line.

Peptide content is reported separately from chromatographic purity on lot QST-25-718, as the Institute asks.
