  Ra­dioac­tive iso­topes pro­duced at the ISOL fa­cil­i­ty ISAC at TRI­UMF are usu­al­ly ex­tract­ed from the tar­get ion source sys­tem as singly charged ions. If the mass of those ions ex­ceeds A=30 their ac­cel­er­a­tion re­quires the breed­ing to high­ly charged ions. A mod­i­fied ver­sion of an ECRIS charge breed­er (14.5 GHz PHOENIX from Pan­tech­nik) has been in­stalled and a first on-line test re­sult­ing in the suc­cess­ful ac­cel­er­a­tion of 80Rb14+ has been per­formed al­ready in 2008. Dur­ing the ra­dioac­tive beam time pe­ri­ods of 2009 and 2010 fur­ther mea­sure­ments with sta­ble and ra­dioac­tive ions from dif­fer­ent tar­get ion source com­bi­na­tions have been per­formed to fully com­mis­sion the sys­tem. Breed­ing ef­fi­cien­cies of sev­er­al per­cent in the max­i­mum of the charge state dis­tri­bu­tion have been achieved. De­tailed re­sults will be pre­sent­ed.
