The DFRobot Gravity SFA40 HCHO Sensor is engineered around the Sensirion SFA40 electrochemical sensing element, providing specific and reliable detection of formaldehyde vapor. Its core principle involves a gas-permeable membrane and an electrochemical cell that generates a current proportional to the HCHO concentration, ensuring high selectivity and long-term stability.
To maintain accuracy across varying environmental conditions, the module incorporates a Sensirion SHT4x digital sensor for real-time temperature and humidity compensation. This design mitigates measurement drift, making it suitable for continuous monitoring applications in indoor air quality systems, smart HVAC controls, and portable health devices.
