I, Judi Irving, certify that:

1.    I  have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of  HemaCare
      Corporation;

2.   Based  on  my knowledge, this report does not contain any  untrue
     statement  of  a material fact or omit to state a  material  fact
     necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
     under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
     the period covered by this report;

3.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and  other
     financial information included in this report, fairly present in, all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
     cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
     this report;

4.   The   registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s)   and   I   are
     responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
     procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
     for the registrant, and have:

     (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
          registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this report is being prepared;

     (b)  Evaluated  the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
          controls and procedure and presented in this report our conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
          of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and

     (c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
          reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The   registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and   I   have
     disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
     over financing reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
     the equivalent functions):

     (a)  All  significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
          design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
          are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
          other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
          internal control over financial reporting.
