Sensirion SEN6x Air Quality Sensors
Sensirion SEN6x is an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring and sensing platform that combines multiple air quality sensors into one compact form factor. This sensor platform can measure up to nine environmental parameters that include PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, RH, T, VOC Index, NOx Index, CO2, and/or HCHO. The SEN6x platform incorporates an all-in-one design and pre-integrated algorithms, eliminating the need for multiple sensor integrations and complex optimizations. The innovative design saves cost, time, and resources during the integration and avoids potential delays compared to individual sensor integration.
The SEN6x platform employs a modular approach to offer flexibility and customization options. With a single design-in, this platform provides an ideal combination, allowing customers to address various product tiers. All variants share an identical mechanical design/form factor, simplifying the production process and facilitating the creation of customized solutions to meet specific needs.

SPS6x - Miniaturized particulate matter sensing building block
The central component of the SEN6x platform is the miniaturized MEMS-based particulate matter sensing unit known as the SPS6x. This integrates all the necessary building blocks for measuring PM1, PM2.5, PM4, and PM10, revolutionizing air quality monitoring. The patented geometric arrangement and advanced MEMS and packaging techniques allow for integrating the light source, detector, signal processing, and algorithm into one cost- and space-efficient solution. The onboard algorithms analyze the scattered light to determine the particles' size distribution and mass concentration. This revolutionary chip-scale particulate matter component and patented sheath flow allow SEN6x sensors to deliver unparalleled dust protection and longevity.
