Which coolant test strips do I get ?

I've seen several online I'm a little confused on what ones I need to test my coolant? I believe 20000 miles ago I drained half of the coolant and refilled with fresh but want to check it .
Thank you .

2050 Instructions - only concerned with the nitrates which should be zero (0).

yes. The strips are used to test for nitrates ONLY. And the other test for contamination. You can actually find the test strips cheaper at NAPA.
