A device (1) for moving a group of containers (A) for pharmaceutical or biotechnological use, between chambers (11, 12) with a controlled atmosphere comprising a support structure (7), supports (2) configured to accommodate containers (A) with an exposed part (B), a guide (3) for guiding the supports (2), rotationally coupled to the support structure (7), first rotating means (4) of the guide (3) and movement means (5) of the supports along the guide (3). The guide (3) rotates to locate the exposed parts (B) of the containers (A) in one of the chambers (11, 12) and the movement means (5) vary the distances (D) between the supports (2), preferably by means of a main body (51) which is rotationally coupled to the guide (3) and which comprises an external surface (52) on which tracks are formed (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60). Also described are an apparatus (100) and a method for producing pharmaceutical or biotechnological articles.
