Large colonies, by virtue of their higher rates of resource uptake, might experience greater resource limitation over time in 500 µl of medium than small colonies, which could bias the results to show slower growth by larger colonies.
Also with respect to methodology, choice of experimental duration should be guided by the tension between the ability to detect changes in colony volume and the fact that growth rate variation driven by initial size will decrease over time as small colonies "catch up" in size to large colonies by virtue of their higher growth rates.
This specific challenge has been addressed by MSC expansion into large quantities by virtue of their in vitro mitogenic properties under standard cell culture conditions [ 2].
Large institutions have their virtues.
