I don't know of a method to do that. It is so easy to evaporate, with mild heat under a stream of dry nitrogen, or in a vacuum concentrator of some type, that people usually do that.

Hey, I'm not judging. I just like to shoot straight. I'm a man of science.

This is assuming your compound is non-volatile which I'm guessing it is. In that case, spin it down and partition between something like DCM/H2O. Again not knowing what layer your compound will be soluble in thats it. Or simply spin down and purify....
