French term or phrase: Témoin de comptage
Sorry if this is obvious, but my French is decidedly rusty... I need the translation of this phrase found in an Italian text as the heading for a column in a table of results from a viricidal activity test. In the column underneath there is: 6,0 log, while the other table heading reads: Essai 1, Essai 2, etc. Thanks in advance, Sarah.

Explanation:
If these are "standards" as I think, this colum should report the results for "control" which, very likely, is explained somewhere else precisely.
