AB  - In this work, the relative analytical performance of the GC-based detection 
      method was investigated with a major focus on cold trap (CT) adsorbent materials 
      against four aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (e. g., benzene, toluene, 
      xylene, and styrene). A series of calibration experiments were hence conducted 
      under cryofocusing conditions formed by the Peltier cooling system in a thermal 
      desorber (TD) unit. During the course of this study, comparative calibration 
      datasets were acquired for each of the three CT types: (i) CT (I) = Carbopack B + 
      Carbopack C, (ii) CT (II) = Carbopack B + Carboxen 1000, and (iii) CT (III) = 
      Tenax TA. All calibration datasets were obtained under subambient temperature 
      (-10 degrees C) conditions controlled by the Peltier cooling system. The 
      reliability of the calibration data was also assessed in an ancillary experiment 
      with the aid of the modified injection through a thermal desorber (MITD) method. 
      The results demonstrated that the GC detection properties of different VOCs were 
      not altered significantly between different CT applications under Peltier 
      conditions, although relative sensitivity could be distinguished moderately 
      depending on the CT type.
