The cryogenic gas-filled ion catcher of a new type has been created at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at JINR. Its special feature is versatility. The device is designed for cooling and separation of nuclear reaction products and for their subsequent analysis. Such a catcher serves as a key element of the new FLNR setup for precision, that is of high-accuracy, measurement of the masses of nuclei of heavy and superheavy elements. The construction is being bench tested now. In the future new equipment will help JINR scientists in studying the physical and chemical properties of superheavy elements of Mendeleev Table.
