You need to use a freeze dryer equipment. If not available, you can use a vacuum concentrator, which may be enough.

You can always do an Ethanol precipitation protocol, it is used to concentrate the DNA - not exactly a lyophilization, but may serve your purposes.

Just hang small volumes and dry them in a speedvac or oven at a temperature of 40°c.
