About · Shanghai · Luoyang

A manufacturer, not a reseller.

Sonnen designs, engineers and manufactures every instrument it sells — R&D in Shanghai, manufacturing in Luoyang, software in its own dedicated center.

Shanghai Sonnen Automated Analysis Instrument Co., Ltd. is an analytical-instrument manufacturer (Kjeldahl, digestion, titration) — not affiliated with sonnen GmbH, the German home-battery company.

Automated analysis, made in-house.

Shanghai Sonnen Automated Analysis Instrument Co. , Ltd. (Sonnen) is a high-tech enterprise specializing in Kjeldahl nitrogen analyzers, titrators, digesters, and filter-bag fat and fiber analyzers. Founded in 2005, Sonnen has grown into a group covering product design, R&D, manufacturing, marketing and technical service. Sonnen operates through three companies. Shanghai Sonnen handles product R&D and international trade, Luoyang Sonnen is the manufacturing base, and Luoyang Langnuo Electronic Technology is the software development center, holding a full series of software copyright certifications issued by China's National Copyright Administration.

Sonnen's R&D team is guided by technical consultant Mr. Li Shuguang - postdoctoral supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, PhD of the University of Twente (Netherlands), postdoc of the GKSS Research Center (Germany), guest scientist of the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan), and one of the first 19 scientists in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Hundred Talents program. Sonnen holds 2 invention patents, 3 utility model patents and 11 software copyrights in the nitrogen determination field, and manufactured China's first fully automatic nitrogen analyzer. Sonnen was invited to participate in drafting the national standard GB/T 22923-2008 and the Calibration Specification for Nitrogen Determination Apparatus.

Today Sonnen's product range covers five categories - sample pre-treatment, Kjeldahl nitrogen determination, fiber analysis, fat determination and titration - applied across agriculture, biology, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, materials and environmental monitoring, serving customers in China and in international markets.
