how would you go about removing these rotifers from a copepod culture?

The rotifers are the tiny dots all over the glass:

I would guess you will have to sterilize everything and start over if you want the culture to be 100% rotifer free.
 
my intent is to rear copepods only for my display tank. The problem now is the rotifers are outcompeting the copepods somehow.
 
I would start over then. Contamination is a common problem in live food culture
