1. A method for determining pH of a first liquid in a container and agitating the same first liquid, comprising:
positioning the container on a receiver instrument, wherein the receiver instrument comprises a wireless receiver;
positioning a submersible device in the first liquid, wherein the submersible device comprises a pH sensor and a reference sensor and a temperature sensor and a wireless transmitter, and wherein the wireless transmitter is in communication with the wireless receiver,
measuring pH of the first liquid by determining a voltage potential difference between the pH sensor and the reference sensor;
measuring a temperature of the first liquid with the temperature sensor;
communicating data to the receiver instrument;
agitating the first liquid, wherein the submersible device comprises a first magnet, and wherein the receiver instrument comprises a magnetic field creator, and wherein the magnetic field creator creates and alters a magnetic field exerting a magnetic force on the first magnet, and wherein the agitating the first liquid comprises moving the submersible device in the first liquid with the magnetic force on the first magnet.
