Certainly! Here's the revised version of the text with enhanced clarity, precision, and a more engaging tone:

How to Use and Measure the Canine Distemper Test Kit:

1. Sample Collection and Storage:

Gather the necessary samples, which include plasma, serum, ocular secretions, and nasal discharge, totaling 100ul.

These samples can be stored for up to 7 days at temperatures between 28 degrees Celsius.

For longterm storage, separate the serum or plasma and keep it at 20 degrees Celsius.

Before testing, ensure the samples are at room temperature to match the ambient conditions.

2. Testing Method:

Keep the test kit away from moisture, as it can affect antibody titer and stability.

Before use, open the kit and extract the required amount.

Peel back the silver foil, place the tools on a flat surface, and record relevant information about the animal being tested.

For serum or plasma, use a dropper to add 23 drops onto the sample (100ml).

For ocular secretions (tears) or nasal discharge, use a cotton swab to collect the sample, mix it with a specified liquid for dilution, and then add 23 drops to the reaction plate.

The results should be interpreted within 510 minutes after placing the sample on the plate. A negative result is indicated after 10 minutes.

3. Result Interpretation:

Determine the result based on the comparison of the sample with the control.

Negative Result: Only the control line (C) appears red or purple, indicating no infection with canine distemper virus.

Positive Result: Both the test line (T) and the control line (C) are red or purple, suggesting an infection with the canine distemper virus.
