Dear Kawanishi-san,

Meridian's assets and many of its staff have been acquired by a new
company, BioVision.  I would suggest you contact:
        Edwin de Feijter
        BioVision
        919 Filley Street
        Lansing, MI 48908   USA
        Phone: +1 517 327-0950  extension 20
        Fax: +1 517 327-0959

The Acas Ultra was reputed to be an excellent system.  Good luck!
