The Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN is devoted to accurate mass measurements of short-lived nuclides. Recent mass measurements with a relative mass uncertainty in the order of 10⁻⁸ provide new data for tests of nuclear and astrophysical models. The results for the mass determination of neutron-rich Zn, Sn, and Cd isotopes will be presented. In addition, an overview of new technical developments at ISOLTRAP will be given. Examples are a new ion detector for higher detection efficiency as well as a temperature and pressure regulation for a minimization of magnetic field fluctuations.
