19. A gas separator device comprising:
a gas transmission pathway comprising a second part and a first part that extends from a chamber through a gas transmission port before reaching an ionizer and ion accelerator, after which the second part is arched through a magnetic field before terminating at a target receptacle,
the chamber configured to contain a first gas species, the ionizer configured to ionize the first gas species, the accelerator configured to accelerate the ionized first gas species,
the magnetic field established between a pair of separated magnetic plates, the magnetic field configured to bias the ionized first gas species along the second part to the target receptacle, which is configured to trap the ionized first gas species.

21. A method comprising:
providing a chamber that is connected to an ion diverter;
flowing a first gas species and a second gas species from the chamber to the ion diverter via a gas transmission port;
ionizing the first gas species and the second gas species in an ionizer;
accelerating the ionized first gas species and the ionized second gas species, via an ion accelerator, into a magnetic field generated by a pair of spaced apart magnetic plates; and
biasing the ionized first gas species in a first arc, via the magnetic field, to a first target receptacle and the ionized second gas species in a second arc, via the magnetic field, to a second target receptacle;
capturing the ionized first gas species in the first target receptacle and capturing the ionized second gas species in the second target receptacle.
