I am running a reaction where I have a hydrogel, pH 5.5, and DMF, pH 11.5, added to the hydrogel solution dropwise. After DMF addition the pH goes to less than 1. I need this to be at pH 8.5 but addition of 1 M NaOH does not work to bring the pH up high

Sounds like you may have an issue with the electrode.  Check the type of electrode you're using to determine whether there may be a compatibility issue with organics such as DMF.
