Here's two cool thing about this experiment: Normal Hydrogen atoms do respond to magnetic field feebly. They feel repulsion while travelling in a field gradient. Anti hydrogen has same property and that's how you keep it away from normal matter.

Second, they were able to produce 25 anti-Hydrogen atoms per hour. They measured total 80 of those. A long way from anti-matter weapons :).
