1. A method for controlling a sample separation apparatus for separating a fluidic sample using a mobile phase provided from at least one mobile phase container, the method comprising:
determining a weight and volume reduction behavior according to which weight and volume of mobile phase in a mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container are reduced during conveying mobile phase from the mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container in the sample separation apparatus; and
determining a tare weight of the mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container based on a gross weight information, a volume information, and the determined weight and volume reduction behavior, wherein the gross weight information is indicative of an initial gross weight of the mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container including mobile phase of the mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container and the volume information is indicative of an initial mobile phase volume in the mobile phase container of the at least one mobile phase container.
