English translation:dilute solution or specific term
Explanation:
Generic term is dilute or diluted solutions. More often, the term depends on the purpose of the dilution. E.g. if the "solutions filles" are for a standard curve, then they are "standard solutions" or simply "standards".

neutral  David Sirett: both of your references are from French authors, so the "faux ami" alarm should be ringing. "Parent solution" rather than "stock solution" is rare, "daughter solution" almost never used.
