A cryogenic stopping cell developed for the low-energy branch of the Super-FRS at FAIR has been successfully commissioned in combination with a multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer at the FRS at GSI. The stopping cell has a stopping length of 1 m and is operated at 100 mbar helium at 100 K. The helium density used in this test is several times higher than the gas densities achieved in comparable room temperature stopping cells. In-flight separated and range-focussed ²²³Th fragments from the FRS have been slowed down, thermalized and extracted. Results of this test and the plans for future experiments will be discussed
