High-precision Penning-trap mass measurements of short-lived nuclei are performed with ISOLTRAP at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE/CERN. An important prerequisite to achieve relative uncertainties of δ m/m=10⁻⁸ is the availability of purely isobaric ion ensembles. To enhance the purity of radioactive ion beams, a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass separator developed at the University of Greifswald [1,2] has recently been implemented at the ISOLTRAP setup. A mass resolving power of R=2·10⁵ and a contaminant reduction of four orders of magnitude by use of a Bradbury-Nielsen ion gate have been achieved. The performance of the combined setup (including an RFQ ion buncher, the MR-ToF MS and the two Penning traps) in both offline tests as well as in first applications with radioactive ion beams will be presented. Furthermore, the physics case and recent results of mass measurements of neutron-rich Zinc will be shown.
