Scientists collect and test air sample because they want to see how clean/polluted it is. Then they can raise awareness to people if needed.
I don't know how scientists collect oxygen, but you can run an electric current through water(electrolysis) and have test tubes at the ends of each wire that you are placing in the water. Hydrogen will be found in the wire that is connected to the cathode(negative end) of the battery. Oxygen will be found at the anode(positive end). Have fun collecting oxygen, be careful with this experiment though.
Air quality measurements are designed to give data on:Particulate matterGaseous materialsHazeOdoursHealth hazardsThis requires a wide range of instruments to do field analysis or collect samples for later laboratory analysis. These analyses may utilize:Gas chromatographyRadiation absorbanceChemical reactionPhysical weighing or countinggot particulate material

in the field, scientists have the opportunity to collect data in an original setting in the labrotory, scientists have the opportunity to collect data in a controlled enviroment. unlike the field the labrotory allows scientists to control conditions like temperature, lightning, and even the surrounding air.

The Antarctic is one of the last unspoiled areas on earth. Air gets trapped in packed snow fall, later gets very packed, sometimes slightly melted, but not enough for the air to get out. This process has gone on for millions of years. When scientists take ice core samples, it is for the air that is trapped, deep down, where it was trapped millions of years ago. They take these samples, into a laboratory, where they carefully extract the air samples. Then they will use a gas chromatograph, IR spectrum analyzer, or other instrumentation to determine the composition of the air sample. The depth of the ice core determines the age of the earth at the time, and with the many ice core samples taken, there are many to compare it to for which to make a better determination.
Any 'empty' container is really full of air, so you don't have to do anything. Pick up a test tube. It's full of air.
