quality-control laboratory
not very catchy, I know.
I think that the "auto" element could be omitted here, as it's implied, but if you wish to retain this, you could use the even less-catchy
"internal quality control" lab
"laboratory for internal quality checking"
Hopefully, something better will turn up, but I feel that this is the sense of it

: Yes, but I do think the "auto" bit is important. Your "internal" sounds OK.
