Superallowed β‐decay strengths or corrected F t values provide some of the most stringent limits for physics beyond the standard three‐quark model. For this reason, the Q E C ‐value 10 C has been measured and found to be 3468.31(51) keV with the TITAN Penning trap mass spectrometer. The facility is unique in coupling such an online spectrometer to a charge breeder, permitting a mass measurement of another superallowed β‐emitter, 74 Rb, in the 8+ charge state. An overview of the TITAN facility and recent highlights are presented alongside the new Q E C ‐value determination of 10 C.
