Methamphetamine and MDMA (Methylenedioxymethampetamine) are chemically very similar and while test membranes specific to only MDMA are available, most test membranes for Methamphetaine (often abbreviated to MET) will also detect MDMA (ecstacy)

As most MDMA is made in illicit labs, most tablets sold and Ecstacy also contain other amphetamine esters, including MET.

As a consequence the MET test membrane is a good general screen, detecting much which is sold as pills or tablets in clubs etc. If you specifically want to identify MDMA in its pure form buy the MDMA test membrane

Manufacturers make test membranes for detecting heroin in 2 sensitivities.

OPI labels the less sensitive 2000ng test membrane

MOP lables the more sensitive 300ng test membrane

Apart from the sensitivity the 2 tests are identical.

Most tests sold in Europe are the more sensitive 300ng MOP test membrane

Testing for these 3 drug groups often confuses people, with the common concern that tests will not differentiate between the 3.

Manufacturers have carefully developed test membranes which are specific to to each type of drug to enable testers and treatment agencies to immediately detect each drug group without having to refer to laboratory tests.

So individual tests are available to detect Opiates (heroin codiene morphine) Methadone and Buprenorphine which have no cross reactivity.
