The REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN delivers a great variety of radioactive ion beams with energies up to 3.0 MeV/u and therefore allows nuclear structure physics experiments far from stability. A crucial point for the experimentalist is the knowledge of possible unwanted beam contaminations, either from the bunching and charge-breeding procedure (residual gas ions) or directly from the ion-production process (isobaric contaminants). The sources of these contaminations will be discussed, as well as possible ways of elimination during the post-acceleration. Methods to analyse the beam composition in the relevant energy range will be presented with an emphasis on the experimental challenges in Gamma-spectroscopy experiments and data analysis.
