Instead of a Ziplock, use a jar or beaker. Glass works best. Much more robust and far less prone to leakage. Ziplock brand aren’t all that great at being sealed well. The knockoffs are even worse.

With a jar or beaker, make they are filled out the same level as the reservoir so that you get the proper effect from the sonicators.
