The TRIµP separator is the first part of the TRIµP facility at KVI, the purpose of which is to separate specific rare isotopes that will be produced using the cyclotron AGOR via fragmentation and fusion evaporation and other reactions at energies of 8 - 70 MeV/nucleon. In particular rare isotopes that are needed for high precision studies to search for physics beyond the standard model are of interest. The separator was installed, commissioned and tested in both the No-dqfragmentation modeNo-dq and the No-dqgas-filled recoil mode No-dq to allow efficient collection of heavy isotopes with large charge state distributions. After successful commissioning, we produced as a first isotope a very clean ²¹Na beam using the (p,n) reaction in reverse kinematics. This isotope was used in a first experiment with the purpose of measuring very precisely the β decay branching ratio of ²¹Na.
