At low-energy radioactive ion beam facilities, mass measurements and spectroscopy for a broad range of nuclei can be performed. For these experiments, the nuclei have to be stopped, cooled, separated and measured as fast and efficiently as possible. A multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) has been developed that will be essential for these experiments. It is a multi-purpose, non-scanning mass spectrometer with single-ion sensitivity. The MR-TOF-MS has been tested at the tandem accelerator of the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratory Garching (Germany). Systematic studies on the mass resolving power (>300.000), transmission efficiency (∼70%), separation power and dynamic range of the MR-TOF-MS will be presented. Mass measurements of an isobaric triplet indicate that the systematic errors of the device are as low as 10−7.
