Laser light scattering is combined with the latest technology against particle contamination to achieve maximum precision over a long period of time. This technology, together with high-quality and durable components, enables accurate measurements - from the first use to a lifetime of more than eight years, according to the company. In addition, Sensirion 's latest algorithms offer high accuracy for different PM types and high-resolution particle size binning. This opens up new possibilities for the detection of different types of environmental dust and other particles. Measuring only 41 × 41 × 12 mm3, the SPS30 is suitable for applications where a compact design is important, such as wall-mounted devices or compact air quality indicators.

The natural deposition of fine dust in conventional PM sensors leads to a constant deterioration in signal quality. Deposits on all optical components such as the light source (laser or LED) and the photodetector are particularly critical. As a result, devices that integrate these PM sensors stop working properly after some time, leading to malfunctions, user complaints, maintenance, service and/or replacement parts. According to Sensirion, the patented contamination resistance technology and durable components give the SPS30 robustness, long-term stability and high accuracy with a lifetime of more than eight years in continuous operation with 24 hours/day use. The sensor is available worldwide through Sensirion's distribution network.
