  The Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) production with ISOL technique should require a charge breeder device to increase the ion acceleration efficiency and reduce greatly the production cost. The "charge state breeder" BRIC (BReeding Ion Charge) is based on an EBIS source and it is designed to accept RIB with charge state +1 and increase their charge state up to +n. BRIC has been developed at the INFN section of Bari (Italy) during these last 3 years with very limited funds and it has been assembled at the LNL (Italy) laboratory. BRIC could be considered as a solution for the charge state breeder of the SPES project under study also at the LNL. The new feature of BRIC, with respect to the classical EBIS, is given by the insertion, in the ion drift chamber, of a Radio Frequency (RF) - Quadrupole aiming to filtering the unwanted masses and then making a more efficient containment of the wanted ions. The RF test measurements seem confirm, as foreseen by simulation results* that a selective containment can be obtained. Most accurate measurements, however, are needed and for that implementations of the system have been carried out.
