Atrium eLab — User Guide

Welcome. The eLab gives you a research desktop in your browser — a Linux workspace with analysis tools, running inside a secure environment — plus a governed way to bring data in and take results out (the airlock).

Your organisation will have given you the web address of your eLab (shown here as https://<your-elab-address>) and an account. Everything works from a normal web browser — nothing to install.
