The Meridian line, the accessories that fit all three units, and the Atlas plans that keep them on the calendar. Prices effective October 1, 2026.
Apex Instruments builds the Meridian line in Tampa, Florida, and services every unit from the same floor it shipped from. This catalog covers the three Meridian stations, the accessories shared across them, and the two Atlas service plans.
Every price is list price for partner accounts, effective October 1, 2026, and holds through the next published sheet. Quotes hold for 30 days. Turnaround is 5 business days standard, 2 business days priority, and 3 business days for calibration.
Turnaround times, holiday closures, and escalation contacts are published separately on the service levels sheet, which your account manager sends with every welcome kit.
Probes, reference blocks, and data leads fit the Bench, the Pro, and the Field Kit. Buy accessories once and move them between stations.
