An OEM particulate matter sensor built for HVAC and industrial duty cycles, with an external pumping system and a concentration range ten times wider than the standard NextPM.

NextPM Advanced shares the same patented dual-angle detection and active humidity control as the standard NextPM, paired with an external pumping system and a concentration range extended to 10,000 µg/m³ on PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. It is the sensing engine behind TERA Sensor's PMDuct in-duct monitor, and suits any application that needs reliable particulate data at higher concentrations or sustained duty cycles.
