Seeed Studio Grove Formaldehyde Sensor (SFA30)

Seeed Studio Grove Formaldehyde Sensor (SFA30) detects formaldehyde around 0ppb~1000ppb with low cross-sensitivity to alcohol and a six-year lifetime of high stability. The Grove Formaldehyde Sensor includes a built-in RHT sensor to maintain high performance under different temperatures and humidity. The sensor features an I2C and UART interface with lifetime-calibrated output.

The Seeed Studio Grove Formaldehyde Sensor combined with a base shield simplifies detecting formaldehyde significantly.
The primary module is made by SENSIRION and is based on electrochemical sensing technology optimized for the lowest false alarm rates. The device offers low power consumption, allowing for battery operation. The Grove Formaldehyde Sensor combines these features to form a reliable, easy-to-use, and high-quality HCHO/RHT combo sensing solution.
