An electrochemical oxygen sensor includes a sensing surface having a working electrode and a reference electrode, a hydrophilic layer formed from an oxygen diffusion-limiting layer emulsion overlaying the working electrode and a hydrophobic membrane formed from a hydrophobic solution disposed over the hydrophilic layer. The hydrophilic layer contains an epoxy network and a hydrophilic polymer. The hydrophobic layer contains an acetate copolymer and a cross-linking agent that reacts with the liquid epoxy resin in the hydrophilic layer forming the epoxy network where the hydrophobic member is water vapor and oxygen permeable.

Compositions, kits, and devices that include calibration and/or quality control reagent(s) for monitoring the performance of blood gas, electrolyte, and/or metabolite instrumentation are disclosed. Different oxygen levels in the calibration and/or quality control reagent(s) can be generated using an oxygen scavenger. Methods of accurately measuring the oxygen levels so generated using a by-product of the oxygen scavenger are also disclosed.
