The IGISOL facility [1] at the Department of Physics of the University of Jyvaskyla (JYFL) is delivering radioactive beams of short-lived exotic nuclei, in particular the neutron-rich isotopes from fission reaction. These nuclei are studied with the nuclear and collinear laser spectroscopy methods. In order to obtain a meaningful increase, in comparison to a standard level, of precision and sensitivity of such studies an improvement of the radioactive beam quality is necessary. This improvement will be achieved due to a radioactive beam handling which consists of three steps: beam cooling, bunching and (isobaric) purification. The latter means a possibility of obtaining a pure monoisotopic beam. Beam handling may be done with an aid of ion traps of RF and Penning type.
