neutral  Rowan Morrell: I would have thought "centrale" would be the noun and "unitaire" the adjective. "Centrale" is used as a noun in French, though it means many things.

individual plants


Explanation:
I don't know whether this would fit your wider context or not, but a "centrale" is often a plant. This might be correct if they are talking about doing the testing in a plant or factory. According to Eurodicautom, one translation for "unitaire" is "individual", and if this is plant, I think "individual" would go nicely with that.
