According to a recently filed complaint, cell biology specialist Berkeley Lights falsely portrayed the accuracy of its lab instrument, the Beacon, which defendants touted as "a better, more advanced way to process and analyze cells."

The lawsuit alleges that defendants failed to disclose that the Beacon suffered from numerous design and manufacturing defects, including high error rates and data integrity issues, and that the Company had received numerous customer complaints regarding the durability and effectiveness of the Company's automation systems, and that the actual market for Berkeley Lights' products was just a fraction of the $23 billion represented to investors.

On September 15, 2021, Scorpion Capital published a highly incriminating report in which Scorpion, relying on statements by the Company's customers and employees, stated that the Beacon is a flop, with astronomical error rates, machine break downs, and that key product claims and capabilities are false. On this news, Berkeley Lights shares declined $9.23 per share, or 30%, over two trading days to a close of $23.53 on September 16.
