According to the Complaint, Fluidigm Corporation manufactures and markets products and services that are used by researchers to study health and disease, identify biomarkers, and accelerate the development of therapies. The Company uses proprietary CyTOF and microfluidics technologies to develop its end-to-end solutions.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Fluidigm was experiencing longer sales cycles; (2) that, as a result, Fluidigm’s revenue was reasonably likely to decline; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
