It sounds like you have a circular reference. You said your plugins reference Lab.Core.DLL, but you also say the plugins are loaded from Lab.Core.DLL.

You need to have Lab.Core.DLL accessible to the plugin being loaded since it is a dependency. Normally that would mean having it in the same directory or in the GAC.

I suspect there are deeper design issues at play here, but this is your immediate problem.
