SHIPTRAP is an ion trap facility at the separator for heavy-ion reaction products (SHIP) at GSI. The scientific programme of the SHIPTRAP facility comprises mass spectrometry, nuclear spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy and chemistry of transeinsteinium elements. The SHIPTRAP facility consists of a gas cell for stopping and thermalizing high-energy recoil ions from SHIP, a rf ion guide for extraction of the ions from the gas cell, a linear rf trap for accumulation and bunching of the ions, and a Penning trap for isobaric purification. In first on-line tests we successfully stopped, accumulated and trapped radioactive nuclides which were produced in fusion reactions of a 40Ca primary beam with a cerium target. The radioactive nuclides were extracted from the ion trap and identified by time-of-flight detection. The total efficiency for stopping, accumulating and trapping the ions was about 1 %.
