Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Business Description Our reportable segments are Diagnostics and Life Science. The Diagnostics segment consists of: (i) manufacturing operations for infectious disease products in Cincinnati, Ohio; Quebec City, Canada; and Modi’in, Israel; (ii) manufacturing operations for blood chemistry products in Billerica, Massachusetts (near Boston); and (iii) the sale and distribution of diagnostics products domestically and abroad. This segment’s products are used by hospitals, reference labs and physician offices to detect infectious diseases and elevated lead levels in blood. The Life Science segment consists of: (i) manufacturing operations in Memphis, Tennessee; Boca Raton, Florida; London, England; and Luckenwalde, Germany; and (ii) the sale and distribution of bulk antigens, antibodies, PCR/qPCR reagents, isothermal reagents, nucleotides, and bioresearch reagents domestically and abroad, including a sales and business development facility, with outsourced distribution capabilities, in Beijing, China. This segment’s products are used by manufacturers and researchers in a variety of applications (e.g., in vitro medical device manufacturing, microRNA detection, next-generation sequencing, plant genotyping, and mutation detection, among others). (b) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation - It should be noted that the terms revenue and/or revenues are utilized throughout these notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to indicate net revenue and/or net revenues. (c) Use of Estimates - (d) Foreign Currency Translation (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents (f) Inventories We establish reserves against cost for excess and obsolete materials, finished goods whose shelf life may expire before sale to customers, and other identified exposures. The Company specifically considered the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the demand for COVID-19 related products, on its inventories at September 30, 2022 and 2021. Such reserves were $6,132 and $4,997 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We estimate these reserves based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions were to be less favorable than such estimates, additional inventory write-downs would be required and recorded in the period known. (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Buildings and improvements - 18 to 40 years Leasehold improvements - life of the lease Machinery, equipment and furniture - 3 to 10 years Computer equipment and software - 3 to 5 years Instruments under customer reagent rental arrangements - 5 years Supplemental Cash Flow Information (Non-Cash Capital Expenditures) Additions to property, plant and equipment for which cash remained unpaid totaled $793, $416 and $236 at September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. (h) Intangible Assets At both September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had two reporting units (Diagnostics and Life Science), both of which contained goodwill. We review our reporting unit structure annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have no intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill. During fiscal 2022, the annual impairment review of the Company’s goodwill consisted of qualitative assessments for each of our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value using qualitative indicators. In the event that the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value, with fair value of the reporting unit estimated using market value and discounted cash flow approaches. Both our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units satisfied the qualitative assessments as of July 1, 2022, and no impairment was recognized. The annual goodwill impairment assessment of the Company’s goodwill as of July 1, 2021, consisted of quantitative assessments for each of our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units. The quantitative assessments determined fair value via both market (comparable company) and income (discounted cash flows) approaches. Based upon these approaches, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value; therefore, each of the Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units satisfied the quantitative assessment at July 1, 2021. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had varying impacts on the Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units, and specifically an adverse impact on the Diagnostics reporting unit. However, even in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated fair value of the Diagnostics reporting unit, as calculated at July 1, 2021, was over 50% greater than its carrying value. Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable at their carrying value. Whether an event or circumstance triggers an impairment is determined by comparing an estimate of the asset’s future undiscounted cash flows to its carrying value. If impairment has occurred, it is measured by a fair-value based calculation. Our ability to recover the carrying value of our identifiable intangible assets is dependent upon the future cash flows of the related assets. We make judgments and assumptions regarding future cash flows, including net revenues levels, gross profit margins, operating expense levels, working capital levels, and capital expenditures. With respect to identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets, we also make judgments and assumptions regarding useful lives. We consider the following factors in evaluating events and circumstances for possible impairment: (i) significant under-performance relative to historical or projected operating results; (ii) negative industry trends; (iii) net revenues levels of specific groups of products (related to specific identifiable intangibles); (iv) changes in overall business strategies; and (v) other factors. If actual cash flows are less favorable than projections, this could trigger impairment of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets. No triggering events have been identified by the Company for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020. (i) Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue Recognition Policies Product Sales Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for products when obligations under such contracts are satisfied. Revenue is generally recognized at a point-in-time when products are shipped, and control has passed to the customer. Such contracts can include various combinations of products that are generally accounted for as distinct performance obligations. Revenue is reduced in the period of sale for fees paid to distributors, which are inseparable from the distributor’s purchase of our product and for which we receive no goods or services in return. Revenue is reduced at the date of sale for product price adjustments payable to certain distributors under local contracts. Management estimates accruals for distributor price adjustments based on local contract terms, sales data provided by distributors, historical statistics, current trends, and other factors. Changes to the accruals are recorded in the period that they become known. Such accruals are netted against accounts receivable. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control of the product is transferred to our customers are treated as fulfillment costs and not a separate performance obligation. Our payment terms differ by jurisdiction and customer, but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 90 days from the date of shipment or satisfaction of the performance obligation. Accounts receivable are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at invoiced amounts less provisions for distributor price adjustments under local contracts and doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of probable credit losses and is based on historical write-off experience and known conditions that would likely lead to non-payment. Customer invoices are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when we believe it is probable that the invoices will not be paid. The Company specifically considered the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its accounts receivable and determined there was no material impact on existing accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 or 2021. Practical Expedients and Exemptions Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers (sales tax, value added tax, etc.), which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. Our diagnostic assay products are generally not subject to a customer right of return except for product recall events under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or equivalent agencies outside the U.S. In this circumstance, the costs to replace or refund affected products would be accrued at the time a loss was probable and estimable. We expense as incurred the costs to obtain contracts, as the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs, recorded within selling and marketing expense, include our internal sales force compensation programs and certain partner sales incentive programs, as we have determined that annual compensation is commensurate with annual selling activities. Reagent Rental Arrangements Certain of our Diagnostics segment’s product platforms require the use of instruments for the tests to be processed. In many cases, a customer is given use of the instrument provided they continue purchasing the associated tests, also referred to as “consumables” or “reagents.” If a customer stops purchasing the consumables, the instrument must be returned to us. Such arrangements are common practice in the diagnostics industry and are referred to as “Reagent Rentals.” Reagent Rentals may also include instrument related services such as a limited replacement warranty, training and installation. We concluded that the use of the instrument and related services (collectively known as “lease elements”) are not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases For the portion of the transaction price allocated to the non-lease elements, which are principally the test kits, the related revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control transfers. (j) Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on inputs: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active and financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (k) Research and Development Costs (l) Income Taxes The Company has certain deferred income tax assets in select jurisdictions. The recoverability of these deferred income tax assets is assessed periodically, and valuation allowances are recognized if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. When performing the assessment, the Company considers the ability to carryback losses to prior tax periods, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. We account for uncertain tax positions using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach: (i) a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion; and (ii) a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon ultimate settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit is recorded. We recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a portion of our income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (m) Stock-Based Compensation (n) Comprehensive Income (Loss) The primary component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) is cumulative currency translation adjustments, which totaled ($11,794) and $135 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (o) Shipping and Handling Costs (p) Non-Income Government-Assessed Taxes (q) Acquisition s (r) Other expense, net From time to time, the Company enters into short-term (generally 30 days or less) foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to certain foreign currencies. These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, therefore, all changes in fair value and the settlement of the foreign current forward contracts is recorded in other expense, net within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized losses of approximately $2,100, $100, and $0, respectively related to foreign currency forward contracts. (s) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements Adopted On October 1, 2021, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU ”), which clarified and simplified accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation principles, the methodology for calculating income tax rates in an interim period, and recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. Adoption of ASU did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2022 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting No other new accounting pronouncements recently adopted or issued had or are expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | (3) Fair Value Measurements To limit exposure to volatility in the LIBOR interest rate, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements, which effectively convert the variable interest rate on the outstanding revolving credit facility discussed in Note 10 to a fixed rate. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements were determined by reference to a third-party valuation, which is considered a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. In conjunction with the paydown of $25,000 on the revolving credit facility in March 2022, a $25,000 interest rate swap agreement was terminated, resulting in a gain of $935, which is recorded in other expense, net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2022. As indicated in Note 4, we acquired EUPROTEIN Inc. of North Brunswick, New Jersey (“EUPROTEIN”) on April 30, 2022 and BreathTek on July 31, 2021. The fair values of inventories acquired were valued using Level 2 inputs, which included data points that were observable, such as established values of comparable assets and historical sales information (market approach). Identifiable intangible assets, if applicable and specifically the acquired customer relationships, were valued using Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable by nature, and included internal estimates of future cash flows and attrition rates (income approach). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those unobservable inputs, as of the date of the acquisition, in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In connection with the acquisition of the business of GenePOC, Inc. (“GenePOC”) in fiscal 2019 and subsequent amendments to modify certain terms of the agreement related to contingent consideration achievement levels and milestone dates, the Company was required to make contingent consideration payments of up to $64,000 (originally $70,000 at the acquisition date), comprised of up to $14,000 for achievement of product development milestones (originally $20,000 at the acquisition date) and up to $50,000 for achievement of certain financial targets. The fair value for the contingent consideration recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase price allocation was $27,202. Giving effect to subsequent agreements to modify certain terms of the agreement related to contingent consideration achievement levels and milestone dates, the fair value of the product development milestone payments were estimated by discounting the probability-weighted contingent payments to present value and presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the Company’s anticipated date of payment at each reporting period. Assumptions used in the calculations included probability of success, duration of the earn-out and discount rate, with such calculations being updated for the effect of the previously noted amendments to the contingent consideration achievement levels and milestone dates. The fair value of the financial performance target payments was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. Assumptions used in these calculations included expected net revenues, probability of certain developments, expected expenses and discount rate. In August 2021, the Company paid $20,000 to settle the contingent consideration obligation, resulting in a $909 net gain for the year ended September 30, 2021. The following table provides information by level for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis , the carrying values for which are included within other assets and other non-current liabilities of the September 30, 2022 and 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively : Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate swap agreements - As of September 30 $ 1,421 $ — $ 1,421 $ — As of September 30 $ (203 ) $ — $ (203 ) $ — Supplemental Cash Flow Information (Non-Cash Acquisition Consideration) In arriving at the $20,000 settlement payment in fiscal 2021, the acquisition consideration obligation related to acquisition of the GenePOC business decreased $909 during the year ended September 30, 2021, due in large part to amendment of certain terms of the original contingent consideration achievement levels and milestone dates, as well as the settlement in August 2021. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Combinations | (4) Business Combinations Acquisition of EUPROTEIN On April 30, 2022, we acquired substantially all of the assets of EUPROTEIN for $4,250 in cash, of which $3,750 was paid at closing, with the remainder held back for final closing adjustments, which is recorded in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is payable within 18 months of the acquisition date. EUPROTEIN offers custom development and production of high-quality bioresearch reagents, with a particular focus on human and other mammalian proteins and recombinant monoclonal antibodies. The acquired assets of EUPROTEIN are included within the Life Science segment and are expected to help the Company accelerate its pipeline of new immunological reagents, while expanding recombinant capabilities. The acquired assets, which are comprised of goodwill, property, plant and equipment, prepaid expenses, and inventories, were valued on April 30, 2022, on a preliminary basis at $3,947, $279, $14 and $10, respectively. The goodwill for EUPROTEIN is attributable to combining EUPROTEIN and Meridian’s products and capabilities to give the Company’s customers access to new immunological reagents. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation may change in the future as the fair valuing of assets is completed. Acquisition of BreathTek Business On July 31, 2021, we acquired BreathTek, a urea breath test for the detection of H. pylori The Company’s consolidated results include approximately the following from BreathTek products: Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Net revenues $ 23,100 $ 3,840 Net earnings 7,500 1,000 These results, which are reported as part of the Diagnostics segment, include amortization expense related to the customer relationships recorded in the purchase price allocation totaling $1,919 and $324 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unaudited Pro Forma Information The following table provides the unaudited consolidated pro forma results for the periods presented as if the BreathTek business had been acquired as of the beginning of fiscal 2021: Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Net revenues $ 333,018 $ 337,118 Net earnings 42,459 77,066 Based on the nature of the EUPROTEIN business, EUPROTEIN is not expected to contribute materially to net revenues and net earnings and therefore, no amounts are included in the table above. |

Lead Testing Matters [Abstract] | |
Lead Testing Matters | (5) Lead Testing Matters On September 1, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Magellan announced the expansion of the Class I voluntary recall of its LeadCare test kits for the detection of lead in blood, which it had initiated in May 2021 after identifying an issue in certain manufactured lots of its LeadCare test kits. As a result of the identified issue, impacted test kit lots could potentially underestimate blood lead levels when processing patient blood samples. Although it was initially believed that the root cause of the issue related to the plastic containers used for the treatment reagent, additional studies have indicated that the root cause related to the third-party-sourced cardboard trays that held the treatment reagent containers. Upon correction of the identified supplier issue, shipment of product resumed during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company continues to work closely with the FDA in its execution of the recall activities, which has included Magellan notifying customers and distributors affected by the recall and providing instructions for the return of impacted test kits. Of the $5,100 estimated and accrued as of September 30, 2021 to cover the estimated costs of the recall, it was estimated at September 30, 2022 that the remaining costs of the recall exceeded the amount accrued, and as a result, an adjustment was made to the product recall reserve. The effect of this adjustment is reflected in product recall costs (adjustment) within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2022, and results in approximately $430 of remaining accrued product recall costs reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022. Anticipated recall-related costs primarily include temporary labor costs, product replacement and/or refund costs, mailing/shipping costs, attorneys’ fees and other miscellaneous costs. Information utilized in the accrual estimation process includes observable inputs such as customer on-hand inventory data, product sales data, average sales price, and product inventory turns, among other things. On April 17, 2018, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Magellan received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) regarding its LeadCare product line. The subpoena outlined documents to be produced, and the Company is cooperating with the DOJ in this matter. The Company maintains rigorous policies and procedures to promote compliance with applicable regulatory agencies and requirements and is working with the DOJ to promptly respond to the subpoena, including responding to additional information requests that have followed receipt of the subpoena in April 2018. The Company has executed tolling agreements to extend the statute of limitations. In March and April 2021, DOJ issued two subpoenas, both to former employees of Magellan, calling for witnesses to testify before a federal grand jury related to this matter. In September and October 2021, DOJ issued additional subpoenas to individuals seeking testimony and documents in connection with its ongoing investigation. It is the Company’s understanding that multiple witnesses have testified before the federal grand jury and the DOJ’s investigation is ongoing. Discussions continue with the DOJ to explore resolution of the matter. As of September 30, 2022, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company believes a loss is probable in the DOJ LeadCare legal matter and has accrued $10,000 as an estimate of the cost to resolve the DOJ LeadCare legal matter, which is reflected in litigation and select legal costs within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2022. The Company estimated this cost based on discussions with the DOJ. The Company cannot predict when the investigation will be resolved or the outcome of the investigation, and the ultimate resolution of the DOJ LeadCare legal matter may exceed the amount accrued at September 30, 2022 and could be material to the Company. Expense for attorneys’ fees related to this matter totaling $3,510, $2,803 and $2,035 is included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Magellan submitted 510(k) applications in December 2018, seeking to reinstate venous blood sample-types for its LeadCare II, LeadCare Plus and LeadCare Ultra testing systems. In the second fiscal quarter of 2019, the FDA informed Magellan that each of these 510(k) applications had been put on Additional Information hold. On July 15, 2019, we provided responses to the FDA’s requests for Additional Information. These 510(k) applications have since expired and are no longer under FDA review. Further, while Magellan’s LeadCare testing systems remain cleared for marketing by the FDA and permitted for use with capillary blood samples, the FDA advised that it has commissioned a third-party study of the Company’s LeadCare testing systems using both venous and capillary blood samples. According to the FDA, the results of the field study will be used in conjunction with other information to determine whether further action by the FDA or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) is necessary to protect the public health. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the FDA or CDC on any follow-up based on the third-party study. During October 2019, the FDA performed a follow-up inspection of Magellan’s manufacturing facility. The FDA issued five Form FDA 483 observations. On March 18, 2020, we participated in a regulatory meeting with the FDA at the FDA’s request to further discuss the Form FDA 483 observations and our remediation efforts. Since the inspection, we have submitted a number of written responses to the FDA regarding the five Form FDA 483 observations issued in the October 2019 inspection, and have worked diligently to execute a remediation plan. During October 2020, the FDA issued Establishment Inspection Reports which closed out the inspections from June 2017 and October 2019 under 21 C.F.R.20.64(d)(3). During June 2021, the FDA performed an inspection of Magellan’s manufacturing facility. As a result of this inspection, the FDA issued one Form 483 observation. On August 3, 2021, FDA sent Magellan a close-out letter for the Warning Letter that FDA issued to Magellan on October 23, 2017. FDA’s close-out letter notified Magellan that FDA has completed an evaluation of Magellan’s corrective actions in response to FDA’s Warning Letter, and based on FDA’s evaluation, Magellan has addressed the issues identified in the Warning Letter. FDA’s close-out letter also stated that future FDA inspections of Magellan and regulatory activities will further assess the adequacy and sustainability of Magellan’s corrections. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leasing Arrangements | (9) Leasing Arrangements The Company is party to several operating leases, the majority of which are related to office, warehouse and manufacturing space. The related operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within right-of-use assets, net, current operating lease obligations and long-term operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease payments recognized in the period those payments are incurred. The lease costs for these operating leases reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the right-of-use assets, net obtained during these periods in exchange for operating lease liabilities, are as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Lease costs within cost of sales $ 905 $ 795 Lease costs within operating expenses 1,406 1,542 Right-of-use assets, net obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities 3,068 1,073 In addition, the Company periodically enters into other short-term operating leases, generally with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related lease expense is immaterial for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company often has options to renew lease terms, with the exercise of lease renewal options generally at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, certain lease arrangements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at our discretion. We evaluate renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the basis for its discount rate. The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases and the weighted average discount rate used to measure our operating leases were as follows: As of September 30, 2022 2021 Weighted average remaining lease term 3.9 yrs. 3.6 yrs. Average discount rate 3.5 % 3.2 % Maturities of lease liabilities by fiscal year for the Company’s operating lease liabilities were as follows as of September 30, 2022: 2023 $ 1,952 2024 1,614 2025 1,343 2026 780 2027 536 Thereafter 135 Total lease payments 6,360 Less amount of lease payment representing interest (403 ) Total present value of lease payments $ 5,957 Supplemental Cash Flow Information (Cash Paid for Amounts Included in Measurement of Lease Liabilities) Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2,338 $ 2,228 $ 1,693 |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Bank Credit Arrangements | (10) Bank Credit Arrangements The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with a commercial bank in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000, which expires in October 2026. Outstanding principal amounts bear interest at a fluctuating rate tied to, at the Company’s option, either the federal funds rate or LIBOR, resulting in an effective interest rate of 2.69% and 2.51% on the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. In light of the interest being determined on a variable rate basis, the fair value of the borrowings under the credit facility at both September 30, 2022 and 2021 approximates the current carrying value reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of $25,000 and $60,000, respectively, which is consistent with a level 2 fair value measurement. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by the business assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and requires compliance with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations and require a minimum level of coverage of fixed charges, as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Supplemental Cash Flow Information (Interest Paid) Cash paid for interest totaled $934, $1,348 and $2,690 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

At September 30, 2021, such deferred tax assets totaled in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, respectively, reduced by valuation reserves totaling $1,322. The operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions, the majority of which relate to Israel, have no expiration date. The aggregate amount of foreign operating loss carryforwards totaled approximately at September 30, 2022 . The Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset of $ and a net at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to unrepatriated foreign earnings. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the applicable jurisdictions. We have considered the levels of currently anticipated pre-tax income in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in assessing the required level of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance including the characterization of the income as ordinary or capital. Taking into consideration historical and current operating results, and other factors, we believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of $21,380 will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in future years if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. We utilize a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions, assuming full knowledge of all relevant facts by the applicable tax authorities. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2022 and 2021 related to such positions was $774 and $700, respectively, of which $700 at September 30, 2022 would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. We generally recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of our income tax provision. During fiscal 2022 and 2021, such penalties and interest totaled approximately $24 and $31, respectively. We had approximately $194 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2022, compared to $170 accrued at September 30, 2021. The amount of our liability for uncertain tax positions expected to be paid or settled in the next 12 months is uncertain. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2020 Unrecognized income tax benefits at beginning of year $ 700 $ 568 $ 509 Additions for tax positions of prior years — 34 — Reductions for tax positions of prior years — — — Additions for tax positions of current year 138 138 104 Tax examination and other settlements (64 ) (40 ) (45 ) Unrecognized income tax benefits at end of year $ 774 $ 700 $ 568 We are subject to examination by the tax authorities in the U.S. (both federal and state) and the countries of Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Holland, Israel and Italy. In the U.S., tax years subsequent to fiscal 2018 remain open. In countries outside the U.S., open tax years generally range from fiscal 2017 and forward. However, in Australia and Belgium, the utilization of local net operating loss carryforwards extends the statute of limitations for examination well into the foreseeable future. To the extent that adjustments result from the completion of these examinations or the lapsing of statutes of limitation, they will affect tax liabilities in the period known. We believe that the results of any tax authority examinations would not have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Supplemental Consolidated Cash Flow Information (Income Taxes Paid) Cash paid for income taxes totaled $26,824, $27,466 and $9,816 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefits | (12) Employee Benefits (a) Savings and Investment Plan (b) Stock-Based Compensation Plans The 2021 Plan is authorized to grant new shares for options, restricted shares or restricted share units for up to 2,839 shares, including 1,839 non-granted shares from the 2012 Plan permitted to be carried forward and added to the 2021 Plan authorized limit. Considering grants, cancellation and forfeitures that have occurred during the year, as of September 30, 2022, the under the 2021 Plan totals approximately 2,200 shares. Options may be granted at exercise prices not less than 100% of the closing market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant and have maximum terms up to ten years. Vesting schedules for options, restricted shares and restricted share units are established at the time of grant and may be set based on future service periods, achievement of performance targets, or a combination thereof. All options contain provisions restricting their transferability and limiting their exercise in the event of termination of employment, or the disability or death of the optionee. We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees, based upon the fair value of the share-based payment on the date of the grant. During fiscal years 2020 through 2022, we granted, in the aggregate for the three-year period, approximately 875 restricted share units (with weighted-average grant date fair values of $10.13 per share in fiscal 2020, $18.81 per share in fiscal 2021 and $20.50 per share in fiscal 2022) to certain employees, including CEO Jack Kenny, as separately detailed below. The units granted in fiscal 2022 were generally time-vested restricted share units vesting in total on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, while units granted in fiscal 2021 and 2020 were generally time-vested restricted share units vesting in total on the third anniversary of the grant date. Additionally, during fiscal 2022, we granted approximately 105 restricted share units (with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.54 per share) to certain employees, including Mr. Kenny to incentivize the achievement of certain Company and segment net revenues and operating targets in fiscal 2024. These awards can only be earned if specified net revenues and operating income thresholds are achieved during fiscal 2024, with increased amounts available to be earned as established increased levels are achieved, which range from 50% to 200% of the “targeted” payout. Based upon information available as September 30, 2022, it is estimated that these performance-based restricted stock units will be paid out at the target level, and the associated stock compensation expense is being recorded ratably through September 30, 2024. Such expense totaled approximately $510 during fiscal 2022. During fiscal 2020, in connection with Mr. Kenny’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, effective October 1, 2019, we granted to Mr. Kenny: (i) options to purchase approximately 198 shares of common stock of the Company (with a grant date fair value of $3.38 per share) vesting on a pro rata basis over the three years ending October 1, 2022; and (ii) approximately 100 restricted share units (with a grant date fair value of $10.10 per share) vesting 100% on the October 1, 2022, which are included within the restricted share units noted above. Giving effect to these grants, cancellations and certain other activities for restricted shares and restricted share units throughout the years, including conversions to common shares, forfeitures, and new hire and employee promotion grants, approximately 790 restricted share units remain outstanding as of September 30, 2022, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.93 per share, a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.08 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $24,898. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the approximate 306 restricted share units that vested during fiscal 2022 was $17.34 per share. The amount of stock-based compensation expense was $6,900, $4,156 and $3,802 for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fiscal 2022 expense is comprised of $1,414 related to stock options and $5,486 related to restricted share units; the fiscal 2021 expense is comprised of $1,080 related to stock options and $3,076 related to restricted share units ; and the fiscal 2020 expense is comprised of $1,006 related to stock options and $2,796 related to restricted share units. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for these stock-based compensation arrangements was $1,638, $1,516 and $898, for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we expect future stock compensation expense for unvested options and unvested restricted share units to total $905 and $5,821, respectively, which will be recognized during fiscal years 2023 through 2026. We recognize stock-based compensation expense only for the portion of shares that we expect to vest. As such, we apply estimated forfeiture rates to our stock-based compensation expense calculations. These rates have been derived using historical forfeiture data, stratified by several employee groups, and range from 0% to 16% in each of the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020. During the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $192, $183 and $148, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense to adjust estimated forfeiture rates to actual. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine grant-date fair value for stock options, with the following assumptions: (i) expected share price volatility based on the average of Meridian’s historical volatility over the options’ expected lives and implied volatility based on the value of tradable call options; (ii) expected life of options based on contractual lives, employees’ historical exercise behavior and employees’ historical post-vesting employment termination behavior; (iii) risk-free interest rates based on treasury rates that correspond to the expected lives of the options; and (iv) dividend yield based on the expected yield on underlying Meridian common stock. A summary of these key assumptions are as follows: Year ended September 30, 2022 2021 2020 Share price volatility 51%-59% 53%-59 % 34 % Life of option 4.00-7.06 yrs. 4.00-7.47 yrs. 6.51 yrs.

Contingent Obligations and NonCurrent Liabilities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Obligations and Non-Current Liabilities | (13) Contingent Obligations and Non-Current Liabilities In connection with the acquisition of Exalenz Bioscience Ltd. (“Exalenz”) in fiscal 2020, the Company assumed several Israeli government grant obligations. The repayment of the grants, along with interest incurred at varying stated fixed rates based on LIBOR at the time each grant was received, is not dictated by an established repayment schedule. Rather, the grants and related interest are required to be repaid using 3% of the net revenues generated from the sales of BreathID products, with the timing of repayment contingent upon the level and timing of such revenues. In addition, the grants have no collateral or financial covenant provisions generally associated with traditional borrowing instruments. These obligation amounts total $5,287 and $5,814 as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, with the grant obligations remaining at September 30, 2022 bearing interest at rates ranging from 0.58% to 2.02%. The grant obligations are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Current liabilities $ 667 $ 638 Non-current liabilities 4,620 5,176 Additionally, the Company has provided certain post-employment benefits to its former Chief Executive Officer, and these obligations total $1,284 and $1,676 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company is required by the governments of certain foreign countries in which we operate to maintain a level of accruals for potential future severance indemnity. These accruals total $566 and $754 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |

National Institutes of Health Contracts | (14) National Institutes of Health Contracts In December 2020, the Company entered into a sub-award grant contract with the University of Massachusetts Medical School as part of the National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (“RADx”) initiative to support the Company’s research and development of its diagnostic test for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen. The Company has received $1,000 under the grant contract for reimbursement of eligible research and development expenditures. These amounts ar e , net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2021. On January 25, 2022, the Company entered into a contract to amend the Company’s second grant contract under the RADx initiative, which was originally effective February 1, 2021. The purpose of the grant is to support the Company’s manufacturing production scale-up and expansion to meet the demand for COVID-19 testing, as well as the Company’s Revogene respiratory panel. The amended contract is a 24-month service contract through January 2023, with payment of up to $8,000 being made based on the Company achieving key milestones related to increasing its capacity to produce COVID-19 tests and the Revogene respiratory panel. As of September 30, 2022, $2,750 has been received related to this contract and is reflected as a reduction in the cost of building and improvements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Reportable Segments and Major Concentration Data | (15) Reportable Segments and Major Concentration Data The Company’s reportable segments maintain separate financial information for which results of operations are evaluated on a regular basis by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company records the direct costs of business operations to the reportable segments, including allocations for certain corporate-wide costs such as treasury management, human resources and technology, among others. Corporate provides certain executive management and administrative services to each reportable segment. These services primarily include executive oversight by non-segment-specific executives, including the Board of Directors, along with certain other corporate-wide support functions such as insurance, legal and business development. The Company generally does not allocate these types of corporate expenses to the reportable segments.

Pending Merger | (17) Pending Merger On July 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with SD Biosensor, Inc., a corporation with limited liability organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“SDB”), Columbus Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Madeira Acquisition Corp., an Ohio corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Meridian is informed that SJL Partners, LLC (“SJL”) is currently the sole shareholder of Parent, and SDB together with SJL will be the sole shareholders of Parent as of the closing of the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Meridian (the “Merger”), with Meridian surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the proposed Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares or shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by SDB, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of the Company or SDB) will be cancelled and cease to exist and automatically convert into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $34.00, without interest. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation: (i) the absence of certain legal impediments; and (ii) the condition that no Specified Outcome, as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement, related to the DOJ LeadCare legal matter (which is described in the section entitled “Legal Matter Relating to LeadCare Product Line” of Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”) has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur. On November 21, 2022, the parties received clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and SDB. In addition to the foregoing termination right, and subject to certain limitations: (i) the Company or SDB may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by January 6, 2023; and (ii) the Company and SDB may mutually agree to terminate the Merger Agreement. The Company incurred transaction related costs of approximately $6,800 during the year ended September 30, 2022 related to the Merger, which is recorded in acquisition and transaction related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

Inventories | (f) Inventories We establish reserves against cost for excess and obsolete materials, finished goods whose shelf life may expire before sale to customers, and other identified exposures. The Company specifically considered the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the demand for COVID-19 related products, on its inventories at September 30, 2022 and 2021. Such reserves were $6,132 and $4,997 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We estimate these reserves based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions were to be less favorable than such estimates, additional inventory write-downs would be required and recorded in the period known. |

Intangible Assets | (h) Intangible Assets At both September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had two reporting units (Diagnostics and Life Science), both of which contained goodwill. We review our reporting unit structure annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have no intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill. During fiscal 2022, the annual impairment review of the Company’s goodwill consisted of qualitative assessments for each of our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value using qualitative indicators. In the event that the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value, with fair value of the reporting unit estimated using market value and discounted cash flow approaches. Both our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units satisfied the qualitative assessments as of July 1, 2022, and no impairment was recognized. The annual goodwill impairment assessment of the Company’s goodwill as of July 1, 2021, consisted of quantitative assessments for each of our Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units. The quantitative assessments determined fair value via both market (comparable company) and income (discounted cash flows) approaches. Based upon these approaches, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value; therefore, each of the Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units satisfied the quantitative assessment at July 1, 2021. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had varying impacts on the Diagnostics and Life Science reporting units, and specifically an adverse impact on the Diagnostics reporting unit. However, even in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated fair value of the Diagnostics reporting unit, as calculated at July 1, 2021, was over 50% greater than its carrying value. Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable at their carrying value. Whether an event or circumstance triggers an impairment is determined by comparing an estimate of the asset’s future undiscounted cash flows to its carrying value. If impairment has occurred, it is measured by a fair-value based calculation. Our ability to recover the carrying value of our identifiable intangible assets is dependent upon the future cash flows of the related assets. We make judgments and assumptions regarding future cash flows, including net revenues levels, gross profit margins, operating expense levels, working capital levels, and capital expenditures. With respect to identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets, we also make judgments and assumptions regarding useful lives. We consider the following factors in evaluating events and circumstances for possible impairment: (i) significant under-performance relative to historical or projected operating results; (ii) negative industry trends; (iii) net revenues levels of specific groups of products (related to specific identifiable intangibles); (iv) changes in overall business strategies; and (v) other factors. If actual cash flows are less favorable than projections, this could trigger impairment of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets. No triggering events have been identified by the Company for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020. |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable | (i) Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue Recognition Policies Product Sales Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for products when obligations under such contracts are satisfied. Revenue is generally recognized at a point-in-time when products are shipped, and control has passed to the customer. Such contracts can include various combinations of products that are generally accounted for as distinct performance obligations. Revenue is reduced in the period of sale for fees paid to distributors, which are inseparable from the distributor’s purchase of our product and for which we receive no goods or services in return. Revenue is reduced at the date of sale for product price adjustments payable to certain distributors under local contracts. Management estimates accruals for distributor price adjustments based on local contract terms, sales data provided by distributors, historical statistics, current trends, and other factors. Changes to the accruals are recorded in the period that they become known. Such accruals are netted against accounts receivable. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control of the product is transferred to our customers are treated as fulfillment costs and not a separate performance obligation. Our payment terms differ by jurisdiction and customer, but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 90 days from the date of shipment or satisfaction of the performance obligation. Accounts receivable are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at invoiced amounts less provisions for distributor price adjustments under local contracts and doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of probable credit losses and is based on historical write-off experience and known conditions that would likely lead to non-payment. Customer invoices are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when we believe it is probable that the invoices will not be paid. The Company specifically considered the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its accounts receivable and determined there was no material impact on existing accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 or 2021. Practical Expedients and Exemptions Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers (sales tax, value added tax, etc.), which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. Our diagnostic assay products are generally not subject to a customer right of return except for product recall events under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or equivalent agencies outside the U.S. In this circumstance, the costs to replace or refund affected products would be accrued at the time a loss was probable and estimable. We expense as incurred the costs to obtain contracts, as the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs, recorded within selling and marketing expense, include our internal sales force compensation programs and certain partner sales incentive programs, as we have determined that annual compensation is commensurate with annual selling activities. Reagent Rental Arrangements Certain of our Diagnostics segment’s product platforms require the use of instruments for the tests to be processed. In many cases, a customer is given use of the instrument provided they continue purchasing the associated tests, also referred to as “consumables” or “reagents.” If a customer stops purchasing the consumables, the instrument must be returned to us. Such arrangements are common practice in the diagnostics industry and are referred to as “Reagent Rentals.” Reagent Rentals may also include instrument related services such as a limited replacement warranty, training and installation. We concluded that the use of the instrument and related services (collectively known as “lease elements”) are not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases For the portion of the transaction price allocated to the non-lease elements, which are principally the test kits, the related revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control transfers. |
Fair Value Measurements | (j) Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on inputs: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active and financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable |

Income Taxes | (l) Income Taxes The Company has certain deferred income tax assets in select jurisdictions. The recoverability of these deferred income tax assets is assessed periodically, and valuation allowances are recognized if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. When performing the assessment, the Company considers the ability to carryback losses to prior tax periods, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. We account for uncertain tax positions using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach: (i) a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion; and (ii) a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon ultimate settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit is recorded. We recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a portion of our income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, therefore, all changes in fair value and the settlement of the foreign current forward contracts is recorded in other expense, net within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized losses of approximately $2,100, $100, and $0, respectively related to foreign currency forward contracts. |
