Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Mesa Laboratories, Inc., a Colorado corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Mesa.” We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of life sciences tools and critical quality control solutions for regulated applications in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and medical device industries. We offer products and services to help our customers ensure product integrity, increase patient and worker safety, and improve the quality of life throughout the world. We have manufacturing operations in the United States and Europe, and our products are marketed by our sales personnel in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, and by independent distributors in these areas and throughout the rest of the world. We prefer markets in which we can establish a strong presence and achieve high gross profit margins. As of September 30, 2024, we managed our operations in four reportable segments, or divisions:
| ● | Sterilization and Disinfection Control - manufactures and sells biological, chemical and cleaning indicators used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization, decontamination, disinfection, and cleaning processes in the medical device, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental and pharmaceutical industries.
| ● | Clinical Genomics - develops, manufactures and sells highly sensitive, low-cost, high-throughput genetic analysis tools and related consumables and services that enable clinical research labs and contract research organizations to perform genomic testing for a broad range of research applications in several therapeutic areas, such as screenings for hereditary diseases, pharmacogenetics, oncology related applications, and toxicology research.
| ● | Biopharmaceutical Development - develops, manufactures, sells and services automated systems for protein analysis (immunoassays) and peptide synthesis solutions. Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development, and manufacture of biotherapeutic therapies, among other applications.
| ● | Calibration Solutions - develops, manufactures, sells and services quality control products using principles of advanced metrology to enable customers to measure and calibrate critical parameters in applications such as environmental and process monitoring, dialysis, gas flow, air quality and torque testing.
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Mesa and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We made no material changes to the application of our significant accounting policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this Quarterly Report to a particular “year” or “quarter” refer to our fiscal year or fiscal quarters, respectively. Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressures, the overall effects of economic uncertainty on customers' purchasing patterns, high interest rates, and other factors. It is not possible to accurately predict the future impact of such events and circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." ASU No. 2023-07 requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim financial statements and requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and applicable additional measures of segment profit or loss used by the CODM when allocating resources and assessing business performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (our fiscal year 2025 for annual periods), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (our fiscal year 2026 for interim periods) on a retrospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU No. 2023-09, which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information related to income tax rate reconciliations and the jurisdictions in which income taxes are paid. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (our fiscal year 2026), with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded that, other than as described above, they are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
