Engineered for accuracy, built to endure: Sensirion announces highly intrinsically stable CO₂ sensor


The SCD53 enables worry-free CO₂ sensing even under demanding conditions through excellent long-term stability, best-in-class accuracy and robustness. Sensirion is excited to launch their next generation high-performance CO₂ sensor in late 2026.

Stäfa, Switzerland – SCD53 is designed to address an increasingly relevant challenge in gas sensing: maintaining accuracy long-term without relying on costly manual recalibration or regular exposure to outdoor fresh air. Many sensors in use today successfully apply automatic baseline calibration algorithms (i.e., “ABC” or “ASC”) to maintain their accuracy over time. These assume regular exposure of the sensor to air at the atmospheric baseline concentration. However, not all applications can guarantee fulfillment of this condition, including demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) systems for permanently occupied spaces, exclusively mechanically ventilated buildings, or smart greenhouses.

The SCD53 combines Sensirion’s leading expertise in photoacoustic NDIR sensing with advanced laser technology for excellent long-term stability independent of fresh-air based recalibration algorithms. Furthermore, the sensor provides best-in-class accuracy, with robustness against dust, vibrations or mechanical forces. Integrated humidity and temperature compensation, as well as optional pressure correction, enable reliable readings across a demanding range of environmental conditions. On-demand measurements, compact sensor size and a reflow solderable LGA package make integrating SCD53 simple, flexible and cost-efficient.
